HUM – 2B6 Humbucher Pickup
Owner’s Manual
Humbucker pickup come with braided, three-conductor wiring and are fully
wax potted to eliminate any chance of microphonic feedback. The hum is
cancelled out by the two different coil directions. Especially designed for
use in the bridge position. Powerful solid sound for great overall tone.
Output: 10.4Kohm (5.2 & 5.2) with ceramic magnet
Installation and Wiring
Diagram
- Remove the strings and the back plate from your guitar.
- De-solder the wires from the controls and remove the old pickup’s.
- Put the TAP humbucher pickup into the pickup cavity and solder the wires.
- Replace the back plate and restring your guitar.
- Adjust the pickup height. Your pickup should be between 2.5 mm and 3.5mm from the strings when the strings are pressed down at the highest fret.
COIL SPLITTING
Coil-splitting is a wiring option that “shuts off” one coil, resulting in a
single-coil Strat-like tone.
To switch from series to split, use the diagram below (humcanceling will be
lost when you switch to split mode).
OUT OF PHASE WIRING ( only for one coil )
Out of Phase wiring is the electrical linking the coil by the sdp switch.
The signal polarity will reverse when will swapping cables of a coil.
Usually the low frequencies are canceled and the result is a thin and nasal
sounding tone.
