It only ghosts around one note (an E of all notes!) and I just put 220uFs in parallel with the 100uFs for the mains and that cleared up the ghosting but I don't really love the way it feels now. I'll prob try removing the original 100uFs and leave the 220uFs and see if that works. The Rivera is a load box not attenuator. That is actually how I am playing it to find the ghosting: Guitar->SuperBass->Mini RockRec->Intellifex->Rivera Hammer 120->4x12.harddriver":13jv2r6a said:I'm surprised that 100uf in the PI didn't clear up the ghosting. I'm running a 50/50uf can for 100uf in the PI in my 68 and it doesn't ghost at least it's not very noticeable.
So it that Rivera an attenuator or just a load box for tapping a DI line out?
Yeah once you hear it you can't unhear it and you know just when the amp is prone to do it...will drive you nuts.Rick Lee":13jv2r6a said:Somehow, all the amps I've built or recapped have ghosting. It's not terrible, but I have pretty sensitive ears, so it sounds very distinct to me.
Thanks!Wow! that sounds fantastic.... What is the Scottosan hybrid? Like a SD 59/Custom hybrid pickup?
What speakers are we hearing in this clips?
It’s a Franky slug coil and a 78 screw coil. So basically you get mismatched coils in regards to both winds and wire gauge. You get 2 separate resonant peaks and an unusual aggressive voicing for the deceiving lower DCR of the pickup. To my ears it’s aggressive yet thick at the same time. It’s my Goldilocks pickup. Not to hot, not to cold, just right. I’ve tried it with both A5 and A2 mags and like both. It’s going to be slightly hotter than the Duncan. For 80 or 85 dollars shipped usually within a week, not sure current pricing, it’s the best deal out there for custom pickupsWow! that sounds fantastic.... What is the Scottosan hybrid?

So what it the overall DC resistance of this hybrid? 12K?It’s a Franky slug coil and a 78 screw coil. So basically you get mismatched coils in regards to both winds and wire gauge.

Yea, around 12k vs the SD being ~11.2k. Also I am using A2 vs an A5 in the SD, but yeah same conceptSo what it the overall DC resistance of this hybrid? 12K?
So... basically it is the Custom/59 hybrid SD pickup...
