* Position 1
Under-Fretboard Humbucker and Neck Humbucker in series
The body sensor is replaced by a visible Neck Humbucker that, when
combined with the invisible Under-Fretboard Humbucker, creates tones that
are warm, round, full and fat. You’ll find that this position makes the
T5 sound even bigger than it is.
Suggested amps: Acoustic or PA, Electric/clean, Electric/overdrive,
or Electric/high-gain.
* Position 2
Neck Humbucker
Activating the neck pickup on its own, this is a great position for
solos and a good place to experiment with the tone controls. Try rolling
back the Treble knob for darker tones.
Suggested amps: Acoustic or PA, Electric/clean or Electric/overdrive.
* Position 3
Bridge Humbucker
We move into the bridge pickup zone and one of the most versatile tonal
ranges. Position 3 will go from "spanky" and clean, all the way to "full-tilt
crunch." Start out with the Volume at the detent (center) then roll it
up to "push" the amp.
Suggested amps: Acoustic or PA, Electric/clean, Electric/overdrive,
or Electric/high-gain.
* Position 4
Bridge Humbucker and Neck Humbucker in parallel
The neck pickup is re-activated and runs in parallel with the bridge
pickup. You might find it reminiscent of a '50s hollowbody with a slight
scoop. In Position 4 you'll find one of many unique T5 tones.
Suggested Amps: Acoustic or PA, Electric/clean, Electric/overdrive,
or Electric/high-gain.
* Position 5
Bridge Humbucker and Neck Humbucker in series
The neck and bridge pickups are now running in series, creating a full
and bright sound that's great for thick lead tones. Change the Volume settings
and watch its "personality" change.
Suggested Amps: Acoustic or PA, Electric/clean, Electric/overdrive,
or Electric/high-gain.
