Push pull pot for Humbucks Versus Single coils....

[teochm]

Yea everyone...whats the diff? I mean if you can get single coil sounds by installing push pull pots then wouldn't double hum guit be more versatile than a single coil?

 

[ShredCow]

You still wouldn't get that twang and sound of a real single coil. Its just the way it is.

 

[thor666]

in short, yes.

but also bear in mind that humbuckers were not intentionally designed to sound good as singlecoils.

 

[subversion]

humbucking pickups which have the split coil function would give you a good emulation of a single coil pikup but it won't be as immaculate. the main reason being the length- humbuking coils are shorter, so tonally, it would sound different. the best split humbuking tone i've come across thusfar is from PRS...

yups totally agree :wink: best guitar for a palm muting intro. but i still prefer the magnetic humbuckers of the Gibson LesPaul Standard. Man are they good.[/quote]
