This is a follow-up to the “no magnets” pickup experiment, mainly based on suggestions from you guys.

I wanted to push it further and properly test the idea with:
– no magnets in the pickup  
– no other pickups in the guitar  
– and magnetising the strings from the bridge

It actually turned out really interesting… and yeah, I can already tell it’s going to be another spicy comment section 😅

If you’re into this kind of deep-dive / experiment-style stuff, this one’s for you.

(Also… appreciate all the input on the last video, this one came directly from that 👊)

I’ve built a new ToneStack Visualiser and added it to the tools page.

It’s similar to the traditional calculators, but with a few extra features that make it much more useful for real-world amp work, especially when you’re experimenting and trying to quickly understand what changes actually do.

Everything on that page is free to use. These are tools I originally made for myself in the workshop, but I figured they’d be just as useful for others.

More tools coming soon....

I’ve been testing a different way to split humbuckers, using capacitors instead of just grounding or using a resistor.

It's really interesting and customisable!

It’s more like you’re shaping which frequencies from that coil get added back into the sound.

🎛️ I also wired it to an 8-way rotary switch
So you can flip between completely different split voicings on the fly.

As always, thanks so much for your ongoing support. I really appreciate it!

I’ve just finished building something new on the site, the Digital Workbench: Builder’s Toolkit.

It’s a growing collection of tools I have developed & use in the workshop, now available for you to use for FREE. There are a couple live already, with more on the way soon.

If you’re into dialing in tone, building, or just understanding what’s actually going on under the hood, this is for you.

Let me know what you think, it currently works great on Chrome, I'm open to any suggestions and I'm always updating them, cheers!
