They DO exist! (Graphtech OFR7 Piezo content! \m/)

Huh?

I mean the switch is a phase switch. (Guess... I think I remember hitting it once and hearing the phase reverse on the strings when it was in that middle-mode thing I mentioned... say, example, E was strong, B was weak... it reverses.)

But in the mid mode, on 3-way, you definitely can hear those phase dealios. Regardless of what you "can see."

I really don't understand how that could happen. There is no reason for any string to be 'stronger' or 'louder' than another unless you haven't strung it up properly.

Which I think you and me both know, Titmouse, wouldn't happen.

Dude, trust me. I've fucked around with it PLENTY of times.

If you're in dual output mode, you never hear it. If you're in single output mode, but select ONLY magnetic or ONLY piezo, you never hear it.

But if you're in A) single outout mode, and B) select BOTH mag and piezo, the piezo volume becomes a blend/pan control, and when you get towards the middle range, you can ABSOLUTELY hear that the strings are out of phase with each other. Every OTHER string is louder, every other string is quieter. Hit that tiny switch on the circuit board, and viola! (

) they swap places.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH.

I understand.

Sorry.

The Dark Wolf · 03-10-2008, 10:10 PM

I just never put 2 and 2 together about phase issues before you mentioned it.

The Dark Wolf · 03-10-2008, 10:10 PM

Yeah. It doesn't happen AT ALL in any sort of "normal" operation. Only in that weird in-between area.

Stitch · 03-10-2008, 10:12 PM

Can we still be friends?

The Dark Wolf · 03-10-2008, 10:14 PM

We'll always be friends. You n' me, we're like peas n' carrots.

I was just doing a shitty job explaining myself, I thinks. It took you to enlighten me it was phase, but when you said it, I was like, "Doh!"
