Gone are the days of reading wiring diagrams, and the trial-and-error experimentation with the soldering iron. Instead, rewire your guitar with the touch of your phone. The Seymour Duncan HyperSwitch system is the merging of traditional and technological platforms that empowers guitarists of all skill levels to effortlessly and immediately change the wiring configuration of their passive pickups.
A result of considerable research and development, the patent-pending HyperSwitch is a powerful and uber-functional active 5-way blade that is compatible with most passive pickups. Design, store, and recall your custom pickup configurations with the easy-to-use mobile app. HyperSwitch pairs with your smartphone via Bluetooth and runs on a 9v battery.
Using
the mobile app, a player with 3 humbuckers, for example, will be able
to configure their pickups in hundreds of possible ways! The mobile app
can be found in Apples App Store for iOS devices and the Google Play
Store for Android devices.
Single-coil Configurations:
- Standard: Standard wind direction for that pickup.
- Reverse: Reverse wind direction.
- Off: The pickup can be bypassed.
Humbucker Configurations
- Standard Full: Coils in series in standard wind direction.
- Standard South Coil: Split to south coil of the pickup, normal wind direction. For most humbucker models, the south coil is the coil with the screws, sometimes referred to as the adjustable coil. The south coil is usually closest to the neck on a neck humbucker and closest to the bridge on a bridge humbucker.
- Reverse South Coil: Split to south coil, reversed wind direction.
- Reverse Full: Coils in series in reverse wind direction.
- Standard North Coil: Split to north coil of the pickup, normal wind direction. The north coil of most humbuckers is the one with the slugs and is the farthest from the neck in most neck humbuckers and is the furthest from the bridge in most bridge humbuckers.
- Reverse North Coil: Split to north coil, reversed wind direction.
- RP: Coils out of phase in parallel. Coil starts are hot.
- PRP: Coils out of phase in parallel reversed. Coil finishes as hot.
- Off: Any coil can be bypassed.
Stacked Humbucker Configurations
- Standard Full: Coils in series in standard wind direction.
- Standard Top Coil: Split to top coil. On most stack models, the upper coil is north up.
- Standard Top Coil Reverse: Split to top coil, wind direction reverse.
- Reverse Full: Coils in series reverse wind direction.
- Reverse Bottom Coil: Split to bottom coil.
- Standard Top Coil: Split to bottom coil.
- RP: Coils out of phase in parallel. Coil starts are hot.
- PRP: Coils out of phase in parallel reversed. Coil finishes as hot.
- Off: Any coil can be bypassed.
