OPTIMIZED FOR HUMBUCKER & SINGLECOILS

When building a Strat with a humbucker in the bridge position and single coils for the middle and neck positions, there is always a toss-up between choosing 500k controls which will retain the life of a humbucker, or 250k controls which will tame the harsh highs that are inherent in single coils.

We say why choose? The Obsidian Custom HSS has some clever wiring, which harnesses the power of a 5-Way superswitch, and a couple of extra resistors to add new life to your humbucker, as it sees the 500k controls that it deserves. Move through the switch positions it and automatically switches back to 250k for the middle and neck pickups so you still get the full and clear rhythm and spank that Stratocasters are famous for.

Furthermore, when you move your switch into the second position the humbucker coils split with one of them pairing up with the middle pickup for a traditional second position Strat tone. To take advantage of this feature you will need a four conductor bridge pickup which is standard issue for many modern and even vintage re-production releases.

SWITCH POSITIONS

1: Bridge Humbucker in Full Mode
2: Bridge Humbucker in Split mode + Middle
3: Middle
4: Middle + Neck
5: Neck

CONTROL LAYOUT 

1: Master Volume (auto splits 250 for Single coils & 500k for Humbucker)
2: Tone Control 1 (Neck & Middle) 250k Pot & 0.047uf Capacitor
3: Tone Control 2 (Bridge) 500k Pot & 0.022uf Capacitor

CRYSTAL CLEAR TONE

To make your tone crystal clear at lower volumes we also include an Obsidian Custom Spec Treble Bleed Mod. This prevents tone 'muddiness' at low volumes by allowing high frequencies to pass along a separate path to your amp, rather than being stopped short by the increasing resistance at the volume control.
