moocow	Re: Output Measurments Just for fun, I ran my Stratocaster simulation to see what kind of impedance the pickup normally drives: http://home.comcast.net/~bcbarrera/files/pickup/Load_Impedance.GIF At very low frequencies, the impedance is at a maximum, about 200K ohms. This agrees well with Dr. Strangelove's suggestion for a pickup 'dummy load'. The impedance falls and seems to level out in the lower mids, then drops off again. The pickup is not part of this simulation so I would expect the results to be very realistic.
