RE: Switching pickups, literally

That's very interesting!

I knew about this pickup switching system:

But this one is very ugly! The one you shared is a lot better looking. Still not something I'd install in one of my guitars, but it's still a cool contraption.

I'm guilty of being a bit technology-resistant when it comes to guitars. I understand that modern tech can sound as good as any kind of vintage gear you can think of but I still not ready to part ways with my good old tube amp and analog pedals!

I gotta say though, that the impulse-response technology for amplifier simulation is something I find incredible!

They just need to motorize it and have it spin while you play to get a tremelo chorus effect going.

I would imagine it would sound like when you try singing or talking through a fan.

I had forgotten that one. I think that was more of a demo to show the differences in the pickups as they can be subtle.

We guitarists know that a good guitar and a tube amp can sound great, so why use anything else? I think image is a factor though.

I've not really played with impulse responses. I probably should.
