#smrd

I made another thing! A magnetic (electric) Irish bouzouki pickup, the kind used on electric guitars, but with some extra features. I retconned a project name for it (Kohaku A-B-C) because it has three primary modes – “single coil,” “humbucker,” and “electric/acoustic mix,” which to be honest is kind of two modes depending upon the single coil vs. humbucker setting, but Kohaku A-B-C-D is too long and didn’t sound enough like a JDF anti-Godzilla plan.

Originally I was just going to do a basic wire-up with a level knob, but then I found out that humbucker pickups gave you separate access to both coils, and so can be used as a single-coil pickup as well as in humbucker mode. So that meant adding a switch. Which means it’s probably worth doing a tone knob while I’m at it. And while I was thinking about that I realised there was no reason I couldn’t also build in a tap to the extant acoustic pickup, which means I should also add a little mixer to control relative levels of the two pickups. So I did! That was a good idea.

Zopárkrát som už stihol dostať otázku, prečo má táto hra názov, aký má, keďže s príbehom vôbec nesúvisí. A je to pravda. O tejto slovnej hračke som sa dozvedel z rozprávania mojich kamošov o týpkovi, ktorý má tento skvost vytetovaný na ruke – spolu s pandou podobnej tej, čo je v logu. Geniálne. Chalana osobne nepoznám, rozhodne mu ale dlhujem pivo za názov, ktorý som mu ukradol. Ak si niekde tu, tak sa mi ozvi.

P.S. Medzičasom som sa dozvedel o ďalšej punkerskej kérke – nápis SMRĎ (sic). Škoda, že som sa o tom nedopočul skôr. Perfektné meno pre reklamnú agentúru.
