Can you post a demo of the final product? I've been working on my own sustain/feedback driver, from a totally different direction - I would love to share it with you, because I'm pretty much stuck now, trying to create a small solution using an exciter speaker (instead of a pickup).
I recently bought a Vyez system that I’ve been trying to increase the driver strength on. It’s pretty weak. The resistance is around 6.5 ohm. I was thinking of trying to add some wraps to the existing windings. The part that I was hoping to get some input on is the physical style of this driver in particular. The design is more of a parallel “hot rail” style. The 3 coils are wired in parallel, not series. I haven’t seen this style discussed. Can you shed any advice?
Great vid, thx. I'm really curious about the guitars in the back, especially surf-green strat, black thing right next to it and the blue parker-ish axe. Could you tell what they are?
You can find out a little more about them here: scientificguitarist.wixsite.com/home/gallery If you still want to know more, you can contact me via my webpage and I'm happy to provide some details.
This is awesome, thanks for making this video!! When talking about magnets, and getting the magnetic field through the plain steel lugs, what if you used rare earth magnet pole pieces or bars in the middle of the coil? Even if you used rod polepieces, once the topper is on, it should distribute the field pretty evenly. That should get a stronger field at the top of the driver, right?
That would certainly create a stronger magnetic field, the issue is that most rare earth magnets are magnetized through the face as opposed to through the edge. Still totally doable, you just have to take that into account.
Harmonic mode is easily done. The blend mode is actually pretty complex. If you look at the Fernandes patents, it's more circuitry than all the rest of the circuit combined. Certainly possible, the Sustainiac has a "Mix" mode that actually is more of a delayed onset mode and it is simple to do. The original Sustainiac wiring diagrams for it are available to download for free on my website.
@thescientificguitarist4228 thank you so much Is there any way to change the look of the pickup like putting a cover over it that won't show the pole tops or are they a important part?
@@thescientificguitarist4228 I think that is an answer for a pickup. But for a sustainer, humbucking doesn't matter right? Maybe with amplifiers that handles 4 ohms you could drive them separately and set the output optimally for each group of 3 strings.
Great explanation! Waiting for next part of your project!

Enjoying this 2nd DIY Sustainer kit. Have you made kits yet ?
This is fantastic, thank you so much!!!

Excellent rendition, thank you.
Can you put up a diagram of the Coils to solder, for 2 Ohms, 4 & and 8 Ohms., please.
That's a good idea. I'll have to see what I can do about a simple diagram that shows the different ways of wiring.

@@thescientificguitarist4228 Thanks, I surely will. Cheers!

Is there a way to recreate the circuit board to add the blend and harmonic feature to the sustainer or a way to turn it off and on?
Harmonic mode is easily done. The blend mode is actually pretty complex. If you look at the Fernandes patents, it's more circuitry than all the rest of the circuit combined.

@thescientificguitarist4228 thank you so much
Is there any way to change the look of the pickup like putting a cover over it that won't show the pole tops or are they a important part?
Will you be republishing your driver circuit? I think you took it down due to some issue you found with it?
Is there a Kit that can be purchased?
I sometimes have kits available for purchase. Reach out to me through my webpage contact form and I can see what I can do.
What are actually the advantages of two separate coils instead of one?
You get the hum rejection before stepping up with the transformer, so it's truly humbucking but with a very flat response.
