Thanks for another great video! I've never had much luck with L and C values from manufacturers. I test pickups myself with a low z driver coil, sig gen and scope, to find their resonant frequncy. Then I work backwards with formulas or spice to work out the actual inductance and parasitic capacitance. You have to remember to account for the input capacitance of your scope, though.
@Rob Mods. That sounds great! How about making a video explaining/ demonstrating it all? Out of curiosity I looked to see if you made vids and you do. Watched a couple and subbed!
I like to use simulations like this to chose a tone cap value that gives me a bump around 2.5kHz. Its pretty cool on a low output single coil guitar because go can go from a Fenderey clean sound to a thick Gibsoney at the turn of a knob.
Hi Steve, good question. The pots on most of my guitars are A/Log. However, my Glarry Bass originally had B/Lin for both the volume and tone. I have since upgraded the pots to CTS A/Log ones. I've only seen A/Log, B/Lin, and C/Reverse Log, so I don't believe I've ever ran into a D. And let the jokes fly on that statement.
You’re showing your humbucker wired in parallel. It should be series. In parallel it will be 3.95k To answer your last question( I’m a pickup maker, so I use my own pickups. They are passive. My bridge humbucker is similar to what you modeled.
