Will this hurt the pups
« on: July 17, 2007, 12:39:49 PM »
I was testing Overdrive pedals the other day and i accidentally connected the cable wrongly. Instead of Guitar Output=>Pedal Input=>Pedal Output=>Amp Input,
I connected Guitar Output=>Pedal Output=>Pedal Input=>Amp Input

So i connected the cables wrongly at the pedal, will this in any way hurt the pickups. Will it do anything to the pups.

The reason i ask is because my guitar sounds very weird in a way that its like i had my tone knob rolled down (wen it is fully on 10) or even like a wah is left on and heeled all the way up. I am hoping it is my Electronics as i already ordered RSguitarworks pots and stuff for an upgrade as its very old. I am just hoping that it is not the pups as i just bought it.

Plus i am from Singapore and i wonder if there is warranty as i just used it for like a month.

Doing what you described will not damage a pickup.

Sounds like another job for Jack Bauer, he's good with deadly viruses, smart bombs and the like.
