Painlessly easy to install….its mindblowing

This is the first time I bought this product after countless hours of finding a device that could connect my new pickup to my old guitar.
Finally found this via AI Copilot help.
This is by far a very innovative and extremely easy way to swap pickups on a guitar. No soldering or anything needed.
Product performs well…especially the blender mode.
Wow…. I’m totally satisfied with this purchase.

Seymour Duncan Little 59 bridge very bright and gutless...

My install was for a Strat build with Fender Ultra Hot Noiseless in the neck and middle and Seymour Duncan Little 59 humbucker bridge. Tried many wiring combinations but the Little 59 was simply too bright. I used the Obsidian wire blender control plate with auto split for position 2, but even the bridge alone was too bright and gutless. Could be the 500k pot? I put it in SSS mode and still the same. Ended up putting the Noiseless hot in the bridge too and tone is as expected.

Hi Drew,

Thanks for your feedback. There are a couple of things to try

- Set the 'Mode ' switch to the SSS / 250k setting. This will tame the highs of the bridge pickup
- Set the bridge pickup further away from the strings. This will reduce high frequencies.
- // OR set the bridge pickup closer to the strings for greater overall output.

If the above does not help, let us know and we will see if there could be something esle causing output issues with the bridge pickup.

Easy Installation, Excellent Sound!

My best friend had a strat he attempted to mod into an HHH configuration almost 20 years and was never able to get sound of it. I secretly borrowed his guitar and installed this in about 20 minutes. Used some pickups he had mentioned, leveled the frets, docked the bridge (per his original plan), and cleaned it thoroughly. It sounds and feels great now. I cannot wait to give it back to him for Christmas. He's going to be very surprised! Installation is painless and having a blender is a fun addition to get a few more unique tones out of it.
