RBTC - TONE CONTROL CIRCUIT

RBTC - The RBTC is a audio development designed to give your single coil style pickups an edge, a fat, smooth, quality edge. It does this extremely well.

It's a small high quality audio circuit housed in a plastic box filled with it's components and a resin compound to protect them. It's passive, which means it has no battery or other power source, so it's very quiet. It's made from very high quality components to give an excellent transparent sound. Each unit is hand-made, tested and packed for despatch.

The RBTC has been developed from the ground up specifically for use with Stratocaster style guitars equipped with Single Coil style pickups( LACE, Dimarzio,Fender, Seymour Duncan etc ). It will work with any pickups but is recommended for use with single coils rather than full humbuckers.

A couple more questions for you. I live in USA on the west coast. What is the price with normal shipping? Also do I need to have my tone pots wired up to my pickups to use the RBTC. I don't right now because they were sucking the tone from my pickups. Thanks agaIn for your time. Richard

@rsothe3rd Sorry I dont discuss pricing/shipping on here, just email me and I'll let you know. The RBTC connects to the Volume Pot and can also connect to Tone pot but these are not linked or required. The basic fattening effect will work off the volume control. YOu need to check my Video Clip which compares a Strat with or without both the RBTC and MTC, so you can hear EXACTLY what the RBTC does to the basic signal without ANY amps. Then apply your amp distortion and it's there!!

I am a huge fan of Blackmores 70s tone. I have Stevens Design Mojo Sixty Four Handwound Pups. They are wired direct to the volume knob. Do you think it is possible to install some kind of bypass switch for the middle p/u so it can be switched on and off for the warble. looking into getting the RBTC. Thanks , Richard(rsothe3rd@yahoo.com)

@rsothe3rd Yes this is really easy to do. I have something like this on a couple of my guitars which have a middle pickups. I can remove the middle pickup using a push pull. Just wire the middle pickup thru a push pull and take it in or out to suit your needs. The guitar looks totally normal, no extra buttoms/switches to spoil it's look. There's lots you can do with clever wiring to get more out of your guitar.

Thanks, I meant MTC.

sounds pretty...you use a marshall with the same guitar and amp settings?

BTW,in what year was ritchie's first RBTC installed?

Hi, I just sent you a private mail requesting a quote through the contact form of your website.

[mijfenders]

@flyngsnwmn I think you need to decide what type of sound you are trying to recreate. A 2 pickup plate with 3 way switch is not perhaps ideally suited to being Dire Straits, so if you want Dire Straits, then get a 3 pickup plate and forget the Blackmore thing. The two sounds are not compatible and so you either compromise or go for one of the other. Warble, is the effect from switching rapidly between the neck/bridge pickup, whcih Blackmore does all the time in live playing. Special wiring helps

[flyngsnwmn]

@mijfenders hi, thanks for your reply. Can you explain what you mean by "warble" ? Also, if I have only 2 pickups, how can I get the typical Strat (Dire Straits' first albums) clean phase sound? Please send me the prices. Thanks, Eric

[mijfenders]

@flyngsnwmn Yes it's possible to buy such a pickguard ready to just drop into your guitar.

I will email you costs and delivery times. You will get a better result with just 2 pickups instead of 3. The "warble" on switching works with a 2 pickup set-up best, if you want the sound, drop the 3rd pickup. Lace Silvers are very good, perhaps the best they have. The standard Lace Golds were never used by Blackmore, that's all just fantasy stuff, just like the MTC in every guitar, it's all rubbish.

Hi,

I sent you a mail from the contact form on your website, but didn't get an answer...

Is it possible to buy a prewired pick guard with 3 Lace Sensors (Silver I guess) and the RBTC installed? If so, can you let me know how much it would cost? (including shipment to Belgium)

Thanks, kind regards,

Eric
