Jackson JE-1000

Where did you get them? I'm dying to get another one!

This is what I know:

"By activating the dip switches you can gradually lower the frequency of the pickup resonance peak. The switches can be set in 8 different combinations. In order the combinations are (higher to lower frequency). "

1. all off
2. Activated 1
3 Activated 2
4 Activated 1 & 2
5 Activated 3
6 Activated 1 & 3
7 Activated 2 & 3
8 Activated 1, 2 and 3

Hope it helps. Do you have one?

This is correct. Someone measured the resonant frequencies of all 8 settings on the JE-1000




The way to figure it out is that each dip switch is 0 (down) or 1 (up). The higher you go up in value as a binary number, the lower the resonant peak frequency. Thus, in exact order of increasing value (i'm just repeating nazgul)...

000
001
010
011
100
101
110
111

If you've taken computer science and/or studied binary math, this should make perfect sense! :ROTF:

But obviously most people haven't...that's why the resonant frequency on this circuit (or any future clone project) should be controlled by a trim pot!!! Lose the dip switches!!! There is no reason to emulate the original crappy design!!!

I remember way back GC had some of these. Maybe some were in there inventory they may still have some.
