Guitar Pickup Phase Checker
If you’re wondering how to check the phase of a guitar pickup, there are several methods available, such as using a multimeter or your ear. However, having a dedicated tool designed specifically for this purpose can make the process much easier and faster.
That’s where the N-audio guitar pickup phase checker comes in.
This small but incredibly useful device is designed to help you determine the wire function of any humbucker or single pickup. It’s an ideal tool for luthiers, guitar repair shops, or DIY enthusiasts who need to perform quick pickup phase detection.
While companies like Seymour Duncan or DiMarzio typically provide manuals showing how to connect their pickups, most stock guitar pickups and unknown pickups require an initial phase check. For example, four-wire humbuckers need to be identified in order to match the pickup phase, among others.
Thankfully, using this tester, you can quickly check the phase of any passive or active pickup or to verify the phase of guitar effects and identify open circuit pickups.
With the N-Audio guitar pickup phase checker, you can simplify the process of pickup phase analysis and testing, allowing you to spend more time playing your guitar and less time troubleshooting. Together with the N-audio Magnetic Pole Detector you will have everything for proper guitar pickup analysis.
