“Heavy processing” is not the problem. If you were running out of CPU ticks, you’d hear crackles and noises from buffer underruns. That might prompt you to increase your buffer size. That could cause a noticeable delay if you have to whack it up high enough. But unless you’ve been down that...

The strap button is never electronically connected to anything at all. Connecting yourself to it cannot help. The wire needs to go to something actually connected to the amp’s signal ground. The jack barrel or the metal part of a cable plugged into it, usually pot shafts, the bridge, etc...

Can you either post a screenshot of the plugin in question or tell us specifically what it is and where all the parameters are set? This probably wouldn’t happen unless you’ve got the feedback way up, but it’s a little tough to say at the moment.

You turned down the volume before the effect and thought it would change the volume coming out of the effect?!? The actual (post FX) volume envelope would do it.

Some pickups you could physically flip the magnet and then switch the wires. If you can remove and replace the pickgaurd and strings back to exactly how it was set up… …you’d probably still insist that you hear a difference because that’s how guitarist brains work.

The ONLY difference will be noise and yes that will be in 2 and 4. The string sound in ALL positions will not change.

It can’t. If you really prefer having more noise than necessary, I guess go ahead on. The actual sound from the strings will be as close to the same as the pickups are.

This has plagued me off and on for years and I finally figured it out just last month. Went in the action list and deleted that shortcut. I never want that behavior, especially accidentally.

Unfortunately I’m pretty sure they’re claiming that they hear some difference when that middle pickup is RWRP compared to one in the same position which isn’t. This is of course complete bullshit.

Described in detail above.

Fkin screwdriver test would do it without having to do any surgery at all!

I KNOW that I’m right. YOU are still confused AND either unwilling to or incapable of actually reading and understanding what anybody else in this thread is saying. It’s getting pretty frustrating. The OP doesn’t have a problem with their humbucker. You probably don’t either. There is NO...

Do the screwdriver test and post results! Do the hum check and post those results. We’ll have the answer before you have to warm up the hot stick.

Obviously! Not trying to blow up your skull, but consider for a moment that a “normal” single coil is also RWRP with respect to one of the coils of the humbucker. Whatcha gonna do now?!?

I’ve always considered those like “special effects” settings. If I’m actually honest, my one 3-pickup guitar actually has individual on/off for each. It has a Tele 3-way switch (which, nobody ever talks in numbers for these or literally any other pickup selector, only Strat), but it’s a master...
