The circuit already has harmonic and mix modes, but no transformer on the pcb.

I buy my strings and accessories from StringsAndBeyond. They have great selection and awesome prices, check them out! The idea behind this site is to share my experience with Do It Yourself approach to guitars, amplifiers and pedals.
Whether you want to save a couple of bucks by performing a mod or upgrade yourself instead of paying a tech, or want to build your own piece of gear from scratch, I'm sure you will find something interesting here. Also, this is the home of DIY Layout Creator, a free piece of software for drawing circuit layouts and schematics, written with DIY enthusiasts in mind.

Whenever you flick the switch to turn the sustainer on the pickup selector stops doing anything. The bridge pickup is turned on and the driver keeps the strings vibrating. I have a blank single coil pickup cover filling the gap next to the driver like on "Flo" as it replaced the factory Ibanez V7 humbucker. Pickup switching remains the same so when the sustainer is off I can still have neck only, neck and middle single coil , middle only, middle and bridge or bridge only.
Output can be adjusted as previously described. I changed the Ibanez V8 bridge pickup for an Evolution bridge at the same time and they both have similar output. The remaining S1 single coil is a weaker on it's own but sound strat like when combined with either neck or bridge.
Post Wed Apr 25, pm when the string vibrates through the magnetic field the electrons in the coil of wire around the magnet are pushed through the wire very small current is generated by the strings this is how a pick up works.
Basically you can play as loud and distorted as you like I'm not a metal player myself and the clean feedback effects are pretty unique except for ebow users I guess so I was keen for these to be heard You do have to develop good damping technique, but it kind of teaches you that in a funny way too Basically if you take your hands off the guitar it will just start feeding back as if you hooked up to a really loud amp.
The bass strings will tend to dominate but if you dampen them the higher strings will start to ring. The idea of the device is to not change the tone or function of the guitar so, if your sound is a super-saturated-out-of-control-distorted-feedback-frenzy-wall-of-sound-a-thon, and that's what you dial up, that's what you'll get!!!
Wow what kind of guitar is that? Did you make it yourself? It's really bizarre looking. Wood looks nice. It's been a while since this tutorial was made and quite a few sustainers have been made of various designs. I'd invite people to join in on the sustainer thread Sustainer Ideas All terrific stuff I wanted to try making one of these but want it to fit nicely into my guitar if it works, so I tore the windings off of a a cheapo single coil with over sized pole pieces.
I had some 26 AWG enameled wire laying around, and i tried wrapping it. I put as many turns on it as i could fit under the pickup case, and measured the resistance. About turns came out to about 4. But before I try this again, I have a question. How do you measure the resistance as you're winding it? The tutorial says wrap 'til you get 8 ohms, but if your pulling wire off a spool, how do check that?
Sustainer Ideas Thread I know it's big but don't worry about all trying to read all that I'll add a post shortly directly relating to your questions there Share More sharing options Followers 2. Start new topic. Recommended Posts. Posted June 3, If you are interested in sustainer theory, just about any aspect of it has been discussed on the thread that this tutorial was born from: PSW's Sustainer Thread Disclaimer 1: This is not even close to a solo effort on my part. General Overview: The chart below illustrates the general signal flow of the sustainer system.
Amplifier: The guys over at runoffgroove. Driver: The driver took me a couple of hours to wind and is probably the most labor intensive part of this build.
General Comments: 1. Pictures: Hopefully I've described it well enough for someone to replicate this, but here are some pictures of my test setup in case anything was not clear enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options Replies 85 Created 16 yr Last Reply 11 yr.

Posted June 17, Posted June 18, Thx Mike for posting that - and thanks to the people that helped with the creation of this tutorial Im hopefully going to try this maybe not on my jimmy page try hard guitar but on a telecaster that i hope to make out of silky oak lol how big are the shafts on those post that you have, like 3 inches.

Edited June 19, by monkey Posted June 27, Here's a couple of shots of my DIY Sustainer The driver is combined with the neck pickup Here's the guitar Here's the back cavity and circuitry, etc PSW - Nice guitar - and nice Sustainer can you answer one question - it may sound stupid lol - can a sustainer act as a pickup when it is not actively sustaining??
Thank's ZoSo S Posted June 28, edited. Hey thats cool - i was kinda hoping that a sustainer didnt only sustain as i wouldnt want to put one on my guitar then Jap strats are pretty nice Posted June 29, GEdwardJones Posted June 30, Posted June 30, Posted July 13,
