Description
From TV Jones:
The collaboration between TV Jones and Billy Gibbons resulted in the development of the Power’Tron Plus. The desire was to create a Filter’Tron-sized pickup with a stronger midrange presence and higher output, while still retaining the famous sparkle and bass-note clarity of our TV Classic!
The Power'Tron Plus bridge model was designed with more magnet wire to resemble a hotter Gibson PAF Humbucker (in the 8.5k DCR range) while still retaining the core Filter'Tron™ characteristics. It has more output and natural full midrange. The lows are tighter and more defined than a traditional Humbucker.
OUTPUT/POWER
DC Resistance is not entirely an indicator of true pickup output, although it can be helpful.
Bridge (only): DCR - 8.5k / Inductance - 5.25H
WIRING NOTES
This pickup is shipped with 4-conductor wire but is ready for standard 2-conductor connection. The extra red and green wires come soldered together and taped off - to split coils, send these to ground.
Splitting coils works extremely well with the Power’tron Plus due to higher coil strength. Additionally, the 4-Conductor wire is convenient for custom switching i.e. pickups combined in series or parallel.
