Baloney Balderdash Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 (edited) I am kind of curious about how the DiMarzio Split P pickup sounds with the two halves wired in parallel, since they are basically functioning as 2 individual humbucker pickups, but the only clip I have been able to find is a YouTube video where it's demonstrated in a just 10 seconds or so clip with slap bass, so that is basically totally useless to me. So my question is if any of you got an audio clip or video featuring the DiMarzio Split P wired in parallel, ideally playing with a pick, and with as little as possible other effects or editing done to it?

bloke_zero Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I'm going to order one - I'll try it out but Dimarzio say "Wiring Options Although the Split P™ has 4 conductors, effective switching options are limited. The basic connection described above is for series humbucking wiring. Parallel wiring is also possible, but the difference in tone is slight. This is because the two halves of the Split P™ pick up different pairs of strings, so there is no tonal interaction between the E & A and D & G sides." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloke_zero Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Though I'm reading that running it in parallel clears up the muddiness and the few people that swear by them in 'the other place' all seem to install them parallel. Hmm - fun! I wonder if it'll be worth it's own switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
