Hi All
In a guitar Humbucker, when the 2 single coils are connected, they cancel the HUM.
If a humbucker is split so that one coil is used, to say, emulate a stratocaster single coil. It produces hum.
Can you connect a 100K resistor to one coil and connect it in series with the other coil. This will reduce the voltage of one coil and will sound like a single coil?
||(Ground)||---[[[[[[]]]]]]-[series with100kΩ]---------[Series with other coil[[[[[[[]]]]]------>OUTPUT OR
||(Ground)||---[[[[[[]]]]]]-[ parallel with 100 Ω]---------[ series with other coil[[[[[[[]]]]]------>OUTPUT
-[[[[[[[]]]]]]- is one coil of the humbucker.
If this is not the way to go. How can you reduce hum from a single coil please?
Thank you for your help
