Troubleshoot Your Guitar Pickup Phase Issues Fast and Easy!

#addictedtogear #phasechecker
The N-Audio pickup phase checker ensures that your pickups are connected correctly. Correct pickup phase ensures that the output from multiple pickups in a guitar is in phase with each other. When pickups are in phase, they work together to provide a balanced and cohesive tone. Out-of-phase pickups can create thin, weak, or hollow-sounding tones, negatively affecting the overall sound of the guitar.

Best explanation of polarity alternation I have seen - and I have been watching several to try and understand how things should be, not just how it works. THANK YOU! Question - how should polarity be for an HSS guitar and is phase (electrical phase) also alternate like magnetic phase?
Nice! This knowledge comes in handy, Tony! Thanks for sharing it
Awesome tool !!!
Very cool,thanks Tony
Yes sir 😄
Love your invention.

It's nifty but it is not my invention.
While you did mention that identical phase between pickups is necessary for full tones when paired...You didn't really note why one of two pickups or paired coils (or the middle pickups out of 3) should have opposite polarities, as well as being be in phase...what makes a pair of pickups hum cancelling. Also, one cannot assume what the polarity or phase of other pickups are from a measurement of only polarity or phase of a single pickup shows. Almost all of the time, multiple pickups are the same phase...but that could be both positive or both negative. But, some guitars (like vintage Strats) have completely identical polarites & phases between all of the pickups...so they are NOT hum cancelling.
I tested one of my humbuckers and the magnet read northwest…I think I got a big problem 🤣

Very cool. I might need this. With the Japanese yen so weak, I am avoiding new guitars from overseas and scouring the used market. Lots of iffy pickups work out there.

Right it's always better to be sure.
Great Video Tony. What should the readings be for an H-S-S layout (N/S)? Thanks

It should still be N/S/N or S/N/S depending on the configuration. Always check the bobbin closest to the bridge on the humbucker.
