Humbucker Pup Tone Zone sound with 250k pots?

[poink27]

pls. help!!!

which humbucker pickup can sound like a dimarzio Tone Zone (with 500k pots) even when used with 250k pots?

[cayle]

hmm... If I understood it correctly, you want something that sounds like a Tone Zone at 500k, and still sounds like a Tone Zone at 250k.

That's kinda hard. Changing the pot value from 500 to 250 would make it warmer sounding. I haven't heard of a pickup that sounds the same on both 250 and 500k pots.

thanks for the reply sir...hmmmm...what I meant was:

X= Humbucker pup I'm trying to find

Tone Zone + 500k pot = X + 250k

   easier to explain this way.....

kasi may single coils yung gitara na paglalagyan ng tone zone? hehehe.

why not just go ahead with the TZ + 250K pots? or maybe the Air Zone para mas balanced ng kaunti with single coils.

thanks for the reply sirs...

yun nga poh sir ang dahilan, HSS kasi yung guitar...sakto na saken yung tunog nung SC's kaso pag pinalitan ko ng 500k pot, baka sobra na highs...

Pinalitan ko na ng ibang pup yung HB bridge pup ko ng Entwhistle, maganda reviews nung pup na toh, kaso nga lang syempre puro sa 500k pots sigurado natest, ayun nung kinabit ko sa guitar ko di ko nagustuhan, ang dull ng tunog...

ang alam ko nga kasi sir nag-iiba tunog ng pups pag iba na yung pots, trip ko tunog ng Tone Zone, ok lang saken mas malakas yung bridge pup kasi ginagamet ko lang naman sya pag nagsosolo, kaso nga lang baka mashado na lumabo yung tunog dahil sa 250k pots nung guitar, kasi nga bassy na tunog ng Tone Zone di ba?

 
Tumingin ako sa DiMarzio site, meron sila parang Treble,Mid,Bass rating nung mga pups nila, and based on the numbers, parang Evo 2 bagay saken

opinions mga sir?

I'd be willing to gamble on it, but that's just me. I've played a mahogany bodied guitar with a Tone Zone. Before even touching it I had already judged it to sound really muddy. After a few strums, as far as pickups go to this day, I had never been so wrong.

A possible compromise would be to have a 500K + 250K pot combo. That's what I do with one of my guitars.

sabagay, di malalaman pag di susubukan....try ko muna tone zone then pag di ok, mag 500k + 250k pot comni ako...thanks sa suggestions sir...

500k pot with .047 tone cap will result to a more flat eq..but having A250k pot and a .02 or .022cap will result to a more clearer and thicker cleans with the tone zone..they try it split coil for variation...

@poink27, if you're concerned on your sound getting muddy at 250k + tone zone. I suggest mag-duncan JB ka na lang. It matches well with single coils.
