A humbucker, humbucking pickup, or double coil, is a guitar pickup that uses two wire coils to cancel out noisy interference from coil pickups. Humbucking coils are also used in dynamic microphones to cancel electromagnetic hum. Humbuckers are one of two main types of guitar pickups. The other is called a single coil.
Humbuckers: Two coils work together to reduce noise and give a thicker sound. Split coil pickups : Found on certain bass guitars, these have two separate coils, each "listening" to different strings. For example, on a bass with four strings, one coil handles the lower two strings, and the other handles the higher two.
Guitar wiring refers to the electrical components, and interconnections thereof, inside an electric guitar (and, by extension, other electric instruments like the bass guitar or mandolin). It most commonly consists of pickups , potentiometers to adjust volume and tone, a switch to select between different pickups (if the instrument has more ...
A P.A.F., or simply PAF ("Patent Applied For"), is an early model of the humbucker guitar pickup invented by Seth Lover in 1955, so named for the "Patent Applied For" decal placed on the baseplate of each pickup. [1] Gibson used the PAF on guitars from late 1956 until late 1962, long after the patent was granted. [1]
The EMG 81 is a popular active humbucker guitar pickup manufactured by EMG, Inc. It is usually considered a lead pickup for use in the bridge position, paired with EMG's 85 as a rhythm pickup in neck position (Zakk Wylde is famous for this configuration). [1]
When the microphones are bidirectional and placed facing ±45° with respect to the sound source, the X-Y-setup is called a Blumlein pair. The sonic image produced by this configuration is considered by many authorities to create a realistic, almost holographic soundstage.
The microphone came with a switch to tailor the mid-bass response, attenuating frequencies below 400 Hz with a mild high-pass filter. Like all premium microphones made by EV, it used EV's 1930s humbucker method of reducing electromagnetic interference by wiring a humbucking coil out of polarity with the microphone element coil. The microphone's ...
The mini-humbucker is a humbucking guitar pickup (used in electric guitars). It was originally created by the Epiphone company . The mini-humbucker resembles a Gibson PAF humbucker , but is narrower in size and senses a shorter length of string vibration. [ 1 ]
