Configurable Pickup Optimization:

Two Switchable 'Modes' (250k & 500k)

Easily optimize the wiring for your pickups.

  • Mode 1: 250k  Best for Single Coils - Tame Excess Highs
  • Mode 2: 500k  Best for Humbuckers - Greater clarity & output

Compatible Pickup Configurations

  • HH — Humbucker / Humbucker - For two-humbuckers S-style guitars.
  • SS — Single Coil / Single Coil - For two-single-coil S-style guitars.

Humbuckers, single coils and P90s can also be used in HS & SH layouts

Features: 

 - ObsidianWire IGNEOS™ Firm Grip Pots

ObsidianWire® IGNEOS™ guitar pots are the new standard for pro-grade guitar wiring.

  • Durable Design - for years of trouble free use
  • Firm Grip Turning - For a solid feel and secure settings
  • Fine Tolerance - Guaranteed to spec +/- 10%

 - CRYSTAL CLEAR TONE (Treble Bleed)

Retain clarity at lower volumes. To make your tone crystal clear at lower volumes we 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.

Upgrade Option:

 - DUAL TUNED SC (COIL SPLIT) 

Turn your humbucker(s) in to a single coil, and back again. To add true versatility to your guitar we build in DUAL TUNED SC, to split your humbucker(s) to a single-coil for lower output, more dynamic tones.To keep your single coils sound full and vibrant, we use Tuned 'partial split' technology, for higher output sound with fuller mids, than is possible with a full split.

  • Requires split coil compatible humbuckers

Tone Control Options

 - PURE OUTPUT - No Tone Control

Maximize clarity by losing the tone control - Tone controls cause output loading even when they are wound to 10. Removing the tone control completely means you avoid the tone suck, for clearer fuller tone.

- SMOOTH TONE CONTROL 

Add a custom designed master tone control using our ObsidianWire designed, CTS built IGNEOS™ pots, for a smooth and useable tone control taper.

Two Shaft Length Options: 

  •  Short Shaft: Pickguard / Control Plate Mount Only
  •  Long Shaft: Rear / Cavity Mount Only

Excellent jack

Excellent jack. Holds the cable very securely and was a breeze to wire into the block on the M1. Came with everything I needed to replace the old jack and seat the new one nicely with the hardware included.

Nice Upgrade

One pickup, one volume push/pull, one tone set up for a much needed upgrade for a little gold top Traveler Guitar. Went great. A violin peg head reamer made quick work of enlarging the holes to accommodate the standard size pots. So much easier than soldering. Sounds much better even with the stock humbucker and now easy to pickup swap with much less effort. Looking forward to trying out a few.

Sound great

Ordered a set for my revstar, they recommended long shafts, may want to try the pick guard mount, but the long shafts were just a hair too wide for the holes on a revstar element. That being said, I ended up taking it to my luthier to have it installed and he was able to get it working. The pots sound much better than the stock pots and the GFS equipment I was using previously. So they are worth it, just keep in mind if you are using something that isn't based on a Gibson or Fender style instrument, it may require a bit of extra work.

Absolutely Versatile and Amazing!!

When I first got this in, definitely was a bit intimidated. But with the ease of setup, information included with the Flex and some messaging between ObsidianWire staff, i was able to install it in a matter of minutes!!!

I went with the Short shaft with split coil option single volume pot. I have a 7 string that now homes this absolute versatile control!!

Definitely a must have if youre a hot rodder, or someone who is new to the world of mods. And the response times from the staff is insanely fast and absolutely friendly and helpful!! Definitely going to order another for a future project!

Fantastic Product, Easy to Install

Fantastic product. I had an issue installing my first set (own fault) and the chap was very helpful.

Install was a breeze after that. Instructions are clear and the process is very easy to understand, even without electrical knowledge. Go slow, be methodical and pay attention to the instructions from OW and your pickup wiring guide and you’ll be golden.

The pots themselves have smooth, quick action. This is great for make fast adjustments on stage. PCBs are expertly soldered and wiring locations are arranged to encourage near install.

Overall, my electrics are looking extremely clean, and working as well as they possibly can.

Cheers.

500k Volume / Short - Pickguard / Plate Mount
Works as described.

Just like every other Obsidian product I've purchased, it works exactly as described. Now they just need to come up with a solution for the skinny wires on a four conductor humbucker. Maybe some sort of pigtail adapter, since skinny wires are harder to work with vs vintage style.

Upgrade well worth it

This output jack arrived ready to be added to my guitar. The connection is tight and secure; an improvement over the standard single connection I had. This upgrade was worth it.

Purchased for my best friend's mod project.

I purchased these for my best friend for Christmas. They seem to be great knobs, but I am left-handed and he is not so we'll have to wait until after Christmas to know more. Everything else I have purchased for myself from Obsidian Wire has been stellar.
