Jason Lollar | Re: Aged wire? I sell alot of unpotted P-90's, alot of people want that, it does make a subtle difference in overall tone which is not so subtle when you start getting oscillations then you can hear a definate funk in the tone which is hard to describe. They have to be wound tight or they are unmanagable. They also dont work great for amps with cascading channels. I make clavinet pickups, doing a batch right now for clavinet.com. These are extremly low impedance and are heavily preamped. Were talking about 300 turns of wire so its boosted up alot. When I was designing these I found out alot about potting because it was such an issue. I used several different compounds and each one affected the tone and feedback level. Harder potting materials increased feedback and gave a more brittle sound like breaking glass. Of course these were exaggerated results. |
