Re: What Pot value for P-90's. But if I had my way, Active pickups use the lower value pots because the (output) impedance of an active pickup is much less than that of a passive pickup. Learn how to choose between 250K and 500K pots now! I may be wrong, but my understanding is that the big issue with connecting active EMGs to a non-EMG preamp is not with the preamp itself, but with the volume/blend controls. 250k or 500k ???? The higher the pot value the more open and clear the pickup isif you were to use 2 500k pots it would have slightly more Choosing your pot value is critical to getting a killer guitar or bass tone. I am not sure why but it is likely due to better quality I'm looking into getting a guitar with Active Pups, I'm not into those and would replace them with SD 59's most likely. Generally, 500k pots are used with humbucking pickups (because they're not a bright a single-coils), and For example, 25k, 50k or 100k would all be fine for a volume pot after the preamp, while 250k or 500k would be too high (with passive My LP with Mastertone active pickups and 250K (yes, these can use 250K pots) DiMarzio pots doesn't do this much at all. It has a detent at center so 250k guitar pots are common in guitars with single-coil pickups, like Strats and Teles. I'm ordering the pickups, and I need to know what potentiometers to go with them. Do 250k and 500k pots affect passive vs active pickups differently? Passive pickups are significantly affected by pot values; active systems are not, as they use buffered outputs Electric Guitar Pickups, Bass Guitar Pickups, Acoustic Guitar Pickups and Accessories - EMG Active & Passive Pickups - over 25 Years of Active Pickup Technology - The original active So, here's my question: Will using a 250K pot with pickups that require 25K pots do any harm? The pickups seem to work quite well and I have more output than I did with the Since single-coil pickups tend to have more treble, 250K pots prevent them from sounding too shrill or thin. 250k pots: Single coil pickups 500k pots: Humbucking pickups 1Meg pots: Jazzmasters, some Telecasters, and some active pickups So I'm having a guitar built, with 2 EMG active pickups. It's like I've had my ears syringed. Now on most guitars, the pots are 250k right? So do . I'm hearing from quite a few people that alot of With pots of 250k or 500k the guitar would work similarly to a guitar with passive pickups. The EMG will come with a 25k volume and a 25k tone pot and a stereo output jack. Using the higher value pots with When a volume pot is on 10, it has resistance to ground equal to the value of the pot, so they WILL sound different depending on the pot value. The difference is incredible. 500K control pots are the usual choice for humbuckers. The higher resistance helps to slightly soften their sharp high-frequency output, Mixing 500k and 250k ohm potentiometers can be helpful if you want to brighten your single coils or humbuckers, but don’t want to Take a stab at what you think is right and if you don't like it, you can always change it later (or adjust your amp settings). Not quite, because the treble resonance of the pickup will remain decoupled from the Potentiometers – or simply, pots – determine how much of what frequencies make it from your pickup to your output jack. I'm switching the pickups in my '90 Les Paul Standard from EMG 81 and 85 to a Seymour Duncan JB (bridge) and Jazz (neck). Personally, I like 1Meg pots in all my guitars. I swapped my Thunderbird’s passive electronics (v500, v500, t250) for an active EQ system (250k blend knob) and the authoritative mojo of the bass has gone. should I replace the blend knob A 500k pot will allow your pickup (s) to sound brighter than a 250k pot. From those you listed, a 1meg pot I recently swapped out the stock pickups in my Peavey Zephyr V, replacing them with Seymour Duncan SSB-5's. The website Which control pot to chooseIN A NUTSHELL 250K control pots are the usual choice for single coil pickups. If you were to use 500K pots Traditional Humbuckers can sound dark and muddy through a 250K pot, and Single Coil Strat or Tele Pickups can sound shrill and It provides some isolation of each pickup from the other and keeps the volume more constant through the rotation. These "K" numbers are the This is an useful tech tip on how to tweak the tone of your pickups by changing the value of the volume pot. 0:00 Intro2:48 1000k Very Bright3:21 500K Bright3 If you're not gonna use the other 2 pickups just don't hook them or the pickup switch up. So I'm thinking maybe the pots are the wrong As you probably know most guitars use 250K pots even with passive pickups.
