All the Bourns I’ve used have been at least 5% above said rating with a smooth loose feel they are great
what is it ? And i know it demagnetizes the pick up that loses power over time ? But what are you doing ? I couldnt tell....forgive my ignorance .
This video is just the short summary comparison of this one. It's all explained in this: ruclips.net/video/a1-p5L_PADI/видео.htmlsi=r2PDCXl2pDb7yNxG
What an incredible resource you are creating, James. Do you have a preferred level or is this just a voicing technique that you know how to use in order to get PAFs to sound a certain way for the player?
It's all case-by-case with each model. Many of mine are fully or mostly charged, but others, like the 1958 PAFs are heavily degaussed.
Solid state devices are incredibly resilient to EMF. Electromagnets are strong, but the field strength drops exponentially with distance. There shouldn't be anything to worry about with filming at your magnet charger, unless you're trying to conceal manufacturing secrets of course. The channel Veritasium filmed right next to one of the worlds strongest electromagnets and the camera gear/electronic devices were fine. If our phones had magnetic storage it would 100% be a problem. The worst I've seen is the compass app requiring a phone restart after being directly on top of a huge N52 Neo magnet. Interesting subject btw. The work people have done with recreating the sound/feel of old equipment has been amazing in the last 15 years. It can always get better. Speakers are the one place that needs a lot more research imo. Nobody is degaussing new alnico speakers or trying different alloys. Moving parts recreation needs to get better too.
Reminds me of the people that say don't use the big 150w & 300w soldering guns near your pickups because it will degauss the magnets. Its nonsense. You literally have to put the thing ON YOUR PICKUP and hold it there for like 3 or 4 minutes with the trigger pulled. 🤦🤦🤦🤦 I've soldered in almost every guitar I have with a 300w soldering gun and it does nothing. Zip.
On the little A3 rod magnets of early Fender pickups, which are already not factory charged fully, that can mess with the charge. I've done it.
I already broke a phone doing it. The camera was permanently blurry, like the focus got stuck It's a pretty intense pulse, if you get close.
@@ReWind-Electric oh really? Wow. I never considered that. Thanks!
@@ReWind-Electric one of my favorite channels had destroyed a few cameras lol but he makes 50kw laser cannons with microwave parts and stuff lol. The channel is styropyro. I believe he's some sort of electrical engineer or something. Not real sure.
What is the inductance on these 6 pickups ? (since you quote inductance on your website, and short of the resonant frequency and Q factor it's probably the next most useful measurement).
Haven’t measured. I just don’t care. It’s not at all important to my work. Specs are for customers because they expect something. I refuse to publish the misleading DCR, so I choose to share a few other figures on my retail site, reluctantly. Blind audio recordings where you don’t know any details of what you are hearing are, by far, the most important. How many Duncan, Gibson pickups, and generic Chinese pickups hit PAF electrical measurements and magnet types just perfectly fine, but sound like crap? Numbers are that useful.
@@ReWind-Electric audio recordings would be the most important if every company used the same guitar and rig, and played the same way. And even then every customer's rig is different. So I don't find sample audio recordings very useful at all. You have the luxury of always hearing your pickups (or others you own) under the same conditions, in a test guitar that allows easy pickup swaps. Prospective customers of pickup companies don't have that option. And no one provides blinded recordings of many diferent pickups where you don't know what you're listing to. Sweetwater's big HB comparison was probably closest, but you had to modify that to make it blinded. And it included PAF styles with hotter HBs. GITEC's showed that well-known PAF clones don't really sound that different. Correct measurements like resonant frequency and Q factor are the most useful. I totally agree that DCR is nearly useless to the player, which is why I didn't mention it. But if you feel that inductance measured under specified standardized conditions (as you do) is also useless, I don't think that's correct. If by "PAF electrical measurements" you mean resonant frequency and Q factor, then those varied for vintage PAFs. And the tonal variations correlated with those. And so people can prefer some PAFs subjectively to others. The less useful measurements don't correlate as closely with the sound. The net effect of uncertainty regarding any pickups I might consider buying is that I don't buy them. If the resonant frequency and Q factor were specified, I would be much more likely to buy. Other people might be happy spending money and modding their guitar on the off chance that a new pickup might sound better than what they have. You seemingly cater to a market that thinks one needs to replicate as many individual components of vintage pickups as possible. That is, make a physical "replica" pickup. Rather than replicate a given resonant frequency and Q factor. That's a somewhat unusual market. Who are ironically in that position because they can't get proper measurements from most pickup makers. ;)
I liked the A set the most. the B set was almost indistinguishable from A, just seemed to sustain a little less. C was my least fav, sounded more scooped
I’m digging A presently, as well. Honestly, none are quite what I was aiming for but surprisingly excellent in different ways. I think the next game will be degaussing the magnets to a few points, then maybe magnet swapping.
Have you thought about using one of those Guitar-X pickup swap setups? It used to be on those Relish guitars. Somebody bought all their stuff and is selling it as Guitar-X. Anyway. That might be something to look into for your testing rig so you don't have to solder pickups in every time. Just pop em in and out. Anyway. Just a thought 👍
It looks like Cream T pickups is who bought it all and is selling it as the Guitar-X stuff
Look again, I don’t solder anything to test them. I have alligator clips bolted in the cavity. Much faster.
I have a problem and I don't know if you can help me. I have a Boss CE-1 and I noticed a problem with the pedal. It has apparently lost all crunch functionality. When I turn the knob, I only get volume and no longer the saturation that the pedal is so famous for. Have you seen this problem before? Could you guide me on the possible problem?
First guess is you changed the input setting on the pedal or something else about your rig or guitar and it's all interacting differently now. Probably not the pedal having any problem, honestly.
I don't think Alpha makes a 24mm case, 1/4" fine spline shaft with a 3/8" bushing. If they're out there, it's a custom order. I just looked through Alphas 24mm catalogue on Mouser. I don't think I've ever seen one. Good luck on taking Alpha pots apart without destroying them. Please post a video on it if you do.
I had that drill. Ended up returning. It for a Fuel for $29 on Amazon. Couldn't believe it. The non-fuel was the same price. Yes it's a legit M12 Fuel 1/2 inch drill. No battery. They're like $35 now?
You should hit up the guy I told you about that lives near me. Mid 60s? ABR1's for 300 last time I looked a week ago
I did but I don’t have any chrome guitars that use an ABR-1. Only nickel.
@@ReWind-Electric How hard would it be to get one nickel plated? Or Is that too sacrilegious? haha
How do I look up this guy with $300 abr1?
@@jimioconnor8039 Don's Vintage Guitar Parts - #B21 Patent ABR
@@jimioconnor8039 this guy has 600+ parts. $400 Centralab pots. All sorts of stuff.
Oh man what a great demo. Really makes me want to buy vintage Centralabs now lol.
I'm putting them in all my Gibsons and trying to hold onto a stash of more for future guitars. Already hard to come by, but really worth it, I think.
Why keep pots at 7or below? I've not heard that one.
You don’t have to. I just usually like what the knobs rolled back sounds like more. Brings more of the complex harmonic sounds out when you set your amp up with the guitar rolled back. Kinda Jimmy Pagey, with the right amp.
There's some pots on The A that say they're carbon track. Like $3.99 each. I might buy a couple. The wafers appear to be quite different from CTS, so I'm curious what they actually look like.
They don't have the squared off piece of wafer where the tabs are. It seems like their entire wafer is inside the pot and only the lugs stick out.
PEC pots are carbon trace and sealed, like you describe. Made in Canada. Really nice pots but, unfortunately, very large and VERY stiff to turn. Would be nice in a hi-fi but not suitable for a guitar being too big and stiff.
I know thee Cooper personally, and I trust he would not have done this if not for a very good reason. Sorry to hear this James, but every product I have from him is FANTASTIC. I hope you love it too.
I have one of these from 1982 and a ce-2 from 1982 and the ce-1 is so much more lush and warm. I’ve A/B’d the ce-1 with a Waza ce-2 and the vibrato setting on the Waza was virtually identical to the ce-1 with zero noise.
Maybe they saw your video on the "brown abr" and didn't want to risk it.
The world needs a saddle comparison
What if NOS wins? ...then everyone looses!
@@ReWind-Electric 🤣 ignorance is bliss, but I know you're like me James and refuse to be ignorant 😂
🤯🤯🤯
Wild.
This is the really wild one! Massive once-in-a-lifetime score. We may never see another set. ruclips.net/video/geK2-70KzvQ/видео.html
5:30 minutes in, if you want to skip the fluff (it's cool fluff, though!).
That's too funny. I bet they got burned with a lot of stock and just refuse to work with other manufacturers/builders. Understandable, but kinda silly for a single paid up front order. I want one of their ABR-1's.
I use and resharpen the same exacto blades. A pack like that will last me a year. I think they use the same steel as shaving razors because that steel gets hair whitling sharp. I love those buttons!! They would look amazing my my R9.
I've started using curved scalpel blades instead of those with the tiny point. I find I get more blade down with a scalpel blade versus the tiny point on an exacto blade. It's easy to mess up when using an exacto because of the tiny point, IME.
You could remove a handlebar and look from there too.
The taper graph looks good for these. I hate the dead zone on CTS pots. 0 to 2 is off no matter the taper or value. If these don't do that, Ill give them a shot. $25 a set of 4 shipped aint bad.
Long ago I bought Alpha full size pots for my Les Paul. They have great taper and almost 550K on all of them. But they were very tight. These days I tried some WD40 to smooth the grease inside them and worked like a charm. Now they are much more smother. Only hard jobe is that I had to ream the wood on the guitar for them to fit properly, as they´re larger.
Most of the Alpha pots are metric, but these, and a few others, are imperial thread. These are 3/8 - 32 threading. In an a guitar that came with Metrics, you might have to ream the holes, but they drop into Gibsons.
I remember seeing these online a few months ago. Pretty sure I identified them as Alpha pots even back then because the wafer looked the same and so did some other details. 👌
That's why I order multiple pots from TAOT when I order CTS pots on "The Amazon Rainforest". I can pick the highest readings and return the rest for free with no questions asked 👌
That's a great idea. Good call.
TAOT?
Where'd my comment go?
Apparently YT doesn't like if you talk about Am. Azon.
Amazon rain forest Edit: pretty sure that's it. This comment disappeared for almost a minute before it showed back up because I guess YT thought I was spamming. I can't stand how they do that. I've had comments deleted that had nothing to do with anything outside of the content on the vid. Nope. Deleted. I'd spend 10 minutes trying to figure out which word was getting it deleted. Can't stand their crappy system.
When I reverse phase on my middle pickup of my strat, it shorts out when it touches metal. How do I fix this? Is there a grounding issue?
If you mean the pole pieces of the pickup touching the strings short it out, you have a failed coil in your pickup and it needs to be rewound / replaced. The coil should NOT have any contact at all with the metal magnetic pole pieces. That happens when the coil fails and the insulation at the beginning of the coil breaks down and lets the copper contact the iron magnets. It might work for now (in one direction) but it will fail completely soon, if that's what's going on.
This video explains it better: ruclips.net/video/mtqf7F5ltmI/видео.html

Hey man, just found your channel. Loving the videos! On the second hole drilled into that Ibanez pedal, I wonder if this was done with the intention of installing a second input? Although it’s in a wierd spot. Awesome catch on that Small Clone. Most of them use the MN3007 BBD but they made it so they could swap the chip for the SAD1024 depending on stock availability I’d imagine. Those versions are extremely rare and usually fetch over 1000$. Supposedly that is the version Kurt used on Nevermind, although he had quite a few of them. To me, either version sounds identical (at least for the original 70s/80s run) and will get you that sound. The reissues sound a bit different (as do all the EHX reissues but I’m sure you’re aware of that). I’ve got an original Clone Theory, MN3007 Chorus/Flange version. I can attest to their noise floor, a lot of hiss but they sound pretty great! Whoever had mine previously had installed a DIY noise gate but we had to remove it as it was causing issues.They’re not the same as the Small Clone, definitely two different flavours of chorus.
Who would want their hardware with all that rusty??!! That looks unnatural. 👎 I imagine the leashes and eyelets are to make an EVH type strap with the retractable hook things.
Ha! I was right! Wooohoo!
Somebodys been shopping on Amazon for eyelets 🤣 I go through that every time I need something. It's usually cheaper to order a box of stuff with different sizes than just 1 size 🤣
🤣 Edit: oh wow. That Black Finger doesn't sound all that bad. It doesn't particularly sound good, either 🤣 Edit 2: it's a compressor?! LOL! I'd have never guessed.
I used to somewhat enjoy your channel, but now I find it incredibly boring. Goodbye forever.
OK.
Thanks for letting us all know. Hand me a tissue for the tears?
DANG. If any of it hits the cutting room floor hit me up! Need a bright channel 1meg volume pot and (brown but beggars can't be choosers) wire missing off the treble control where the MV was added
Whoa. I gotta get a desoldering gun. I assume you use that any time you have to remove something on a pcb?
Ohhhh. Pots, too. I wasn't even thinking of those lol. Yeah. I need one. 😂
They have fancier ones, that I should probably get, but even that one in the vid is a life changer from the dumb little hand pumps or braid.
@@ReWind-Electric I imagine so. It looks so much faster than by hand or with solder braid. That's the biggest plus. As quickly as you were doing it, it appears to not put much heat into whatever you're desoldering. And that's what you want, AFAIK. In & out quick with only as much heat as needed. Great job!
I have that craftsman mini pliers set. 🤣 I just put the zip up holder they came in away in my toolbox this morning lol. I got them around 2008, IIRC.
What an interesting video James!
Thank you, brother! Not as cleanly done as yours, I know. I'll get there, one day.
The volume and tone settings at 01:12 seems completely different to the settings at 01:15? Same goes to 01:25 vs 01:27 as well? Are those setting changes in the comparison intended to compensate the tonal differences?
There's no changes. The volume and tone knobs all start at max and rotate down by exactly the same amount for each set of clips. First set is all knobs at max, then all knobs at 7, then all knobs at 5. There's just no pointers installed on the shafts of the Centralab pots so 10 on the knobs face straight down for a point of reference with those. They all rotate by the same amount.
There's a guy local to me thats had a bunch of Cetralab pots and stuff for sale for a long time but it seems like nobody buys the stuff on Reverb. He wants like $200 for a single Centralab pot 🤷🤦 $400 for a Stackpole. $150 for a CTS pot. The place is Don's Vintage Guitar Parts. He has multimeters in his pics of pots. He's been selling this stuff since 2020 and nobody seems to be buying it. He's had over 500 listings for as long as I've known of his store. Always the same, super high prices.
Jeez. He has Stackpoles for $400 and 60s ABR1s for 300. You may, want to take a look. I dont know how accurate his prices are. I don't buy vintage parts.
Oh, ya. I see. He's got some really expensive stuff. Hard to imagine paying $1k for a single 1952 250k Stackpole when I could buy an entire 1952 Fender Champion Lap Steel for the same price that comes with two pots, an amazing pickup, knobs, etc. I'll watch his shop in case any deals come up though. Sometimes you just need a certain year / model part to restore an instrument. Thanks!
The Robot is epic! Cool video James! I was assuming that tele pickup was going to be A3 as well. Interesting pickup. I wonder if it was a custom wind for someone? Be cool to know!
Man, I have several of these things and they are all fucked in one way or another. I really should add a ground to them. Idk, I’d like to get them looked at at some point
Amazing to see love and care for rare parts like those. Have a nicce Sunday, sir.
I got pot grease from whoever makes the oem stuff for CTS. Nye Lubricants or something? I posted about it on MLP, then Got promptly banned by power tripping douche canoes with attitudes over literally nothing. Thank God for VPN's. I'll always have an account there despite their power trips of banning people for absolutely nothing.
Ya, there's different dampening grease viscosities that CTS offers when you order pots. The problem is that even with no grease at all, and in their lowest rated turning torque pot options (dished back), the pots are still not nearly as loose as vintage Centralabs are.
@@ReWind-Electricoh wow. I've never held a Centralab pot so I'm not familiar with them.
In your experience how would that pickup sound if it had alnico 3 magnets instead of 5s?
The tele pickup
Vintage Fender A3s would have been much lower output, much less treble, more midrange, and less of a thumpy bass and snappy feel.
I have the delay and chorus also, this was really interesting to watch and enjoyed the ethereal noodling. Will def. be checking out your other vids, cool stuff!
Question...is the extra turncount creating a stronger magnetic field and that leads to richer harmonics?
The turn count doesn't change the magnetic field. That's a matter of the magnetic and ferric parts and the charge.
