Just watched a very interesting YT vid, Try This Before Buying New Pickups | Cheap & Easy Mod
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=if1NrMvQjv4&t=274s
Mainly the vid is about installing capacitors in parallel to get the tone you want. The trick is finding the desired capacitor.
The interesting part of the vid is the selector box built by the gentleman who made the vid. He built it as a tool, but a lot of people who see it think of it as a pedal of sorts.
This cannot be a difficult thing to build. When I was a mechanic in the days before "on-board diagnosis" of fuel injection and motor management systems, I built something similar to help diagnose various sensors.
Pretty cheap to build too ... just a selector switch and some capacitors. In the comments section, somebody suggested that a kit of something similar had be built years ago.
Is there anybody here who could help come up with a schematic ... and maybe a how to thread?
