#291. Multi-sound System with Acoustic Filter for
A2HL(i) |
|
|
|
This complete loom is
from a Hofner A2HL(i) and comprises a
Multi-sound System,
an
Acoustic Filter
and conventional
Volume and Tone
controls.
It only requires to be
connected to two humbuckers* and fitted back into your
archtop. It is fed through the neck pickup
aperture. You would need to pre drill the
appropriate holes. |

The multi-sound system provides humbucking, splitting or out of phase independently for each pickup by means of two small toggle switches on the right, whilst the left hand toggle is a conventional pickup selector switch. That gives 15 possibilities.
|
|
 |
|
Nothing to
wire-up. Just connect your pickups* |
|
 |
|
The acoustic filter is a
little harder to define. Whereas a
Tone control is simply a treble cut (so turning to bass just
lops off some treble) the acoustic filter leaves all the
treble in place but softens and rounds the bass.
It was Hofner's intention was to create a more acoustic
sound. The acoustic filter is the third knob. The
first two knobs are the Volume and Tone controls. |
|
|
|
All units are heavily
screened and caged. |
|
* Humbuckers
should ideally be wax potted for best results and be wired
for coil splitting. |
