Frequently asked questions
What's the main functional difference between these two?
The HyperSwitch BT controls which pickups are active via wireless switching, while the BMP-1 amplifies and conditions the signal from your pickups. You could use both together in a build, or either one independently depending on your needs.
Do both require soldering?
No—the HyperSwitch BT uses screw-terminal connections and the BMP-1 uses bare-wire Lockdown connectors, so neither requires traditional soldering. Both are designed for easier installation.
Which is better for live performance?
Both suit live performance, but for different reasons: the HyperSwitch BT offers hands-free pickup switching via smartphone, while the BMP-1 provides the clean, high-output amplification and noise floor control needed for consistent live tone.
Do these work with passive or active pickups?
The HyperSwitch BT works with most passive pickup configurations. The BMP-1 is a preamp designed to integrate with active pickup systems and requires its own 9V battery or external power for operation.
