We Give You Those "Million Dollar Sounds!"

Welcome to the home of the 21^st century Pickup Switch Upgrade^TM products that give your electric guitar and bass more pickup tone power than you ever imagined — and is the greatest invention since Les Paul created the world's first solid body electric guitar in 1941.

Our Mission is to create a new Pickup Switch Standard that gives you the maximum number of pure analog pickup tones possible on your electric guitar or bass — giving you incredible performance from your instrument without the use of batteries or sensitive electronics.

We have focused on the smallest possible electric guitar and bass change (replacing your inadequate old style antique pickup switches) to give you the biggest possible long term result (experiencing "pickup tone nirvana" of up to 76 pure analog pickup tones on your upgraded instrument).

Do You Know These Important Facts? Almost every part of today's electric guitar and bass has been significantly improved to give you greater value than ever before. The single exception to all this innovation are the current "Stone Age" 3-way or 5-way pickup switches. For over 70 years, these switches have had ZERO improvement — but are still being used by manufacturers. Their "static" design keeps you from getting ALL of the pickup tones that are possible from your instrument. These primitive pickup switches will only give you 3 pickup tones or 5 pickup tones — instead of the 6, 35, 76, 94 and now 228 pure analog pickup tones you can really get when you upgrade your instruments with our growing family of High Performance patented Pickup Switch UpgradeTM products. We have focused on the smallest possible improvement to give you the biggest possible long-term impact. The smarter manufacturers are finally listening to customers. Their new products contain more mini toggle switches to give customers access to more pickup tones. But the use and placement of these added switches is random at best and these instruments are becoming a "rats nest" of wiring that is a potential support nightmare. Standards benefit every industry because they offer consistency, ease of use and simplicity to all participants. A superior "standard" Pickup Switch UpgradeTM product means that regardless of the manufacturer using them, the switch operation remains consistent. You don't have to learn how to use each manufacturer's "enhanced" instrument because the standard is the same for everyone. Our High Performance products are the the musical instrument industry's new Pickup Switch UpgradeTM standard for the 21st century. You already paid up to $2,500 for a good instrument. Now you can get the single most important instrument upgrade in the last 100 years. These upgrades will increase your playing enjoyment and put your career in orbit. Don't you think it makes good sense for you to take a closer look at these products?

Our growing family of High Performance patented Pickup Switch Upgrade^TM products will give your electric guitar and bass up to an incredible 76 pickup tones. Did you know that the human ear can only distinguish 72 unique pickup tones? And this is from a range of pickup tones going from muddy/dirty blues to Classic Jazz to Heavy Metal to Surf to Intense Country Twang to out-of-phase, glass-shattering tin-canny tones.

All instruments that contain our upgrade products immediately make the pickup tones from all other instrument makers sound anorexic by comparison. Why? Because our products give you pickup tones so "fat"... they're OBESE. You also get a lot more pickup tones.

Our switch upgrade products have become the New Pickup Switch Standard to give you access to ALL the electrical pickup coil combinations for your instruments. For the first time in history, you can now upgrade all your instruments to instantly get complete and total control of all your instrument's pickup coils. None of the manufacturers offer you this kind of incredible pickup tone power.

Our products make it easy for you to quickly upgrade your instruments to get New Magical Pickup Voices without batteries or sensitive electronic boards (both of which will let you down when you're performing or recording).

Now you can Get Amazing Tones from your instrument Without Changing Your Pickups!

Our products are designed to give you a vast range of Pure Analog pickup tones on your electric guitar or bass. Our upgrades give you the maximum number of pickup tones possible from your instrument and elevates it to an entirely new dimension.

Your jaw will drop when you experience the dozens and dozens of "Face Melting" pickup tones your seriously upgraded instrument will spew out — tones that Nobody has ever heard before. These are tones that you can use to your advantage by sounding completely unique.

"In the studio, selecting the right guitar for the part is more than half the battle. Having a palette of sounds to choose from helps you play to your particular strengths, and the marriage of creative ideas to appropriate instruments is hard to beat." — Rich Tozzoli - Music Producer/Composer/Mixer

Guitar and bass technicians who do extensive upgrades to instruments are impressed — not only with the huge number of pickup tones these products provide, but also because what used to be a days-long wiring job to get this kind of result is now a simple 5-minute task. All the fragile complex wiring and logic is "baked" into a multi-layer printed circuit boards that has a solderless terminal strip. It now takes less than a minute to connect your pickup and input wires to upgrade your instrument.

Our Pickup Switch Upgrade^TM products will give you additional unique pickup tones that you have NEVER heard before — We Guarantee It. And because these are unique sounds, you can use them as your Signature Sound that nobody else has. Without this High Performance upgrade you are at the mercy of the manufacturer and you are stuck with the tones that they decided to give you. Finally, you can use our products to break out of that pickup tone prison and get the additional pickup tones that the manufacturer did not give you.

You should know that all of our products are completely passive and green, so there are no batteries or sensitive digital electronics to fail while you are performing or recording. This also means you can Keep your Analog Pickup Tones PURE.

Even the "F" company gives legitimacy to parallel/series pickup configurations with their S1 switch. But their switching system will only gives you up to 8 pickup tones, where our High Performance Pickup Switch Upgrade^TM products will give you up to 76 pickup tones. Our products will give you performance that is light years ahead of any whimpy and obsolete "custom shop" instrument.   So why would you want to upgrade your instruments with our products?   Put Simply: Our products give you a HUGE edge in the already overcrowded and fiercely competitive player market.

Are you one of those really smart players who sees the value of standing out from everyone else and sounding Truly UNIQUE?

Here's your new reality. In the last decade, the guitar and bass player market has become very crowded with more players (and wannabes) than ever before. These are hard times, with everyone struggling with shrinking gigs, lower pay rates and fewer recording contracts.
How can you stand out and be different if you have the exact same puny few pickup tones as millions of other people?

To survive, you want something that makes you "different" in an increasingly crowded guitar player market. And now more than ever, you want something that will help you rise above the crowd to sound BETTER, sound UNIQUE, sound DIFFERENT.

Our Pickup Switch Upgrade^TM products will give you this game-changing and attention-getting difference in spades.

Session Musicians are using our products to lighten their load. Why drag in up to a dozen or more instruments to a session (because each one of those canoe paddles has its own unique sound) when you can bring in just one instrument that will sound like them all — plus give you dozens and dozens of additional pickup tones that you never heard before. You only need to tune up ONE instrument, not a dozen or more (while everyone is "on the producer's clock" waiting...) Now you can give your producer the exact tone shading they want. When you can do that it means the producer is going to be calling you first to be part of their future projects because you are able to deliver in spades.
Don't let some other player get your next job because you don't have our upgrade products!
