#homewreckerpickups

#tbt to my days at #ESPGUITARS developing the current winding machine I have today for #HomeWreckerPickups #TheToneConsultant operations. Working on it while on my lunch hour and after hours. Lots of trial and error. Judging by this photo, it was a Thursday morning, after a long night residency show I would play in Hollywood with #NiceTie @motoehausofc and @illastratedinkllc long nights, early mornings. 2010-2011ish. I wish I could relive these days and would’ve embraced the chaos a bit more of that time. Who knew.. if I saw the size of the blessings coming, I would’ve understood the magnitude of the battle much clearer. #JJhernandez (at Esp Guitar Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3pwZJ1nyVb/?igshid=w4ofxn0f9bbs

Holy stacks. It’s loud. Had a minute to myself for once to nerd out. Found my old @fulltoneeffects #ocdpedal Of course I’m running it at 18v. #BognerEcstasy Red channel on plexi mode. I will be sound demoing the new Road Rage Bridge Humbucker in the next video. As well as @roadragerichmond once he gets his new sets. #homewreckerPickups #jjhernandez (at East Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B14sSWHHUSR/?igshid=1c5ehmmjcnmuw

Yesterday I had the pleasure of changing it up with a design I know very well. I have been using the house amplifiers past few weeks, neglecting my Fractal AX8 and Bogner Ecstasy with a 1x12. Friends who gave me hell for that. You know who you are. Chew on this treat. I’m not entirely picky with what I play through, tone..it’s all in my hands. Plus if I don’t have to haul an amp.. I certainly won’t. On Saturday buddy Garrett of @bennett.amplification was kind enough to let me borrow a King Combo 1x12. Vol, Tone, Master Vol. all you need. Verdict = Plexi meets Twin. Yes I said it. This amp can do anything if you apply yourself right. Must mention how reliable it was for long hot gigs in the sun. It delivered. Was sharp, very loud and efficient. Bell like cleans. Gain was clear when pushed. Yesterday we were blessed to share the stage the stage with Swells and Local Culture, played our own style of #IslandReggae with #r&b with ambient grooves. Adding #Cumbia and rock towards the end of the set. I can’t wait to take it for a spin at the next rock gig/session this week. The Bennet King Combo is truly in a class of its own. I will run this with a Bogner XTC next bigger gig. Stereo with the FX! Dream rig, complete! Fx used: @keeleyelectronics C4 Compressor, @cusackmusic Screamer for OD @empress_effects Echosystem & VMSD in combo with @strymonengineering Big sky to take everything to space! #homewreckerpickups #Jhernandez #jjhernandez (at SeaLegs at the Beach) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1XHAd5n1cv/?igshid=jljes2lm999j

SlowBurn series. A few choices within this model can make it 3-5 models. Available with 3 different magnets for a custom voicing. And a lower/higher Amount of turns. Think the chunk, ability to roll off like the #super70pickups, warmth of a #PAF, and the bite of the #TTOP. Sound clips from myself and other players on the way. #HomeWreckerpickups #jher andez #humbucker #thetoneconsultant #vintagetone #studiolife #guitarmods https://www.instagram.com/p/B0fvvncnaLt/?igshid=b70kpuylbuh5

Back in the saddle and in to rhythm. A LOT of catch up work to do here from May. Pictured is a Valentina-TTop style, going out this week. There are a few new options available for neck pickups. Updated site, updated models. In process of doing sound clips. Also, raw in to my interface so those of you who use plugins or #reAmp guitars, can download my sound clips, and test them through your #DAW. Lots more coming, much for one of me to handle. So if anyone with social media skills, that would like to trade services, contact me directly! #homewreckerpickups #hwpickups #jhernandez #jjhernandez #thetoneconsultant #paf #ttoppickups #studiolife #handwoundcoils #handwoundpickups #vintagetone (at Boyle Heights, Los Angeles)
