Daniel Galanti: I
just
wanted to drop you a line and say thanks for developing the noise
canceling system. Evening
Ilitch, Just
wanted to reach out to you and tell you I couldn’t be happier with that
BPNCS. My Black Strat was my favorite guitar when I was in Japan - the
power there was so much cleaner. When I moved here, the Black Strat took a
place on the wall – I’ve been chasing Gilmour Pulse/Division Bell
tones and will that kind of gain it was god-awful. So I’d been playing
with active and other “noiseless” pickups – but lost that chime.
Before I found your site I found a blog for a dummy coil and tried that
out on the Black Strat – definitely quieted it down some, but something
was missing. I noticed it first in the harmonics – I really had to be
one it to nail pinch and pick harmonics – they seemed to come easier
before. Something was wrong. Anyway
– I found your site and decided to try the BPNCS. Install was a snap –
even lined up with the factory trem cover holes. I plugged it in to a
boosted custom big muff (my own) which means a ton of gain so she was
humming pretty good when I made the adjustments to the pots. I also wire
up a push pull switch to the lower tone control (per your instructions)
thinking I would deactivate the circuit when I was playing clean and
engage it only when I needed it. Making the adjustments took a little
time….think I was starting to hear ghost tones, static, etc. in my head
– it was hard to settle on the final settings. At first I was a little
skeptic because the hum was still very much there (mind you I was dumping
more gain into my amp than I had ever before – everything was dimmed,
and I certainly don’t play with that much)….however when I got
everything tucked away inside and all back together I plugged her into to
my normal settings (still with plenty of gain…I was boosting a big muff
pedal) and achieved tonal bliss. The cumulative effect of this circuit and
good shielding is truly amazing – I can’t believe how good this guitar
sounded. Needless to say it is off the wall – and has a new place in a
custom stand right next to my desk – it is once again my number one,
“go to” guitar and I couldn’t be happier. The push pull is fun to
play with and truth be told I really can’t hear any degradation of tone
regardless of clean or high gain settings. I’ll end up taking that
push-pull out at some point and putting a normal tone pot in there. After
almost a week of playing with this – I’m convinced I don’t need it.
No point in every canceling the BPNCS. Seriously,
seriously want to thank you and congratulate you on your success with this
system. This is the absolute @#$@ - finally, you can have your cake and
eat it too WRT to true single coil tone. This
experience has me thinking about another project guitar – a custom 54’
relic. I am very concerned about keeping the look and feel bone stock (I
even kept the original 3-way switch. I was looking at your CVNCS system
and was wondering if that might work in the control cavity of a Strat. I
don’t want a backplate on the 54’ so I’m looking for some way to
“hide” the noise canceling system. Is that possible. Thanks
again, all the best too you. -M |
