The Magna'Tron blends single-coil twang with unique Filter'Tron & DeArmond influence. Although it can sound just like a single-coil, it is built with two coils (humbucking). The dual-coils provide a hint of compression on the high-end and no 60-cycle hum. One part of the recipe that makes the Magna'Tron so special is its staggered cylinder Fender-style magnets.
Bright and chirpy with quick attack and exceptional pop and clarity. The Magna'Tron delivers a unique mix of single-coil spank meets Filter'Tron style twang with no hum! Slightly brighter and tighter on the bass than the TV Classic.
DC Resistance is not entirely an indicator of true pickup output, although it can be helpful.
Bridge: DCR - 8.0k / Inductance - 2.92H
Neck: DCR - 4.8k / Inductance - 1.24H
The Humbucker Mount is a direct drop-in replacement for any guitar with standard sized humbuckers. This pickup ships with mounting screws and springs for adjustment.
NOTE: Designed for use with your original humbucker ring. TV Jones rings do not fit humbucker size pickups.
This pickup is shipped with 4-conductor wire but is ready for standard 2-conductor connection. The extra red and green wires come soldered together and taped off - to split coils, send these to ground.
Splitting coils is generally not recommended with the Magna'Tron because of its natural tight and bright sound, however some may enjoy it. Additionally, the 4-Conductor wire is convenient for custom switching i.e. pickups combined in series or parallel.
Humbucker Replacement: The Humbucker Mount is a direct drop in replacement for any standard sized humbuckers. The change in mount does not change the sound of the pickup.
