Frequently asked questions
Can these work together?
They serve different purposes and are not designed to work in tandem. The TS-1 modifies how a single humbucker sounds; the LIBERATOR makes it easy to swap pickups entirely. Use one approach depending on your needs.
Which is better for live gigging?
The TS-1 gives you multiple tones instantly from one pickup via onboard switches, ideal for mid-set adjustments. The LIBERATOR is better if you're changing pickups between sets or rehearsals.
Do I need soldering skills for either?
The TS-1 uses a color-coded circuit board for straightforward installation. The LIBERATOR is specifically designed to eliminate soldering during pickup swaps, though initial installation may require basic soldering skills depending on your guitar's wiring.
Which guitar types do these fit?
The TS-1 fits standard humbucker cavities but won't work with nickel- or gold-covered Trembuckers due to housing geometry. The LIBERATOR replaces a 250k volume pot and works with any passive pickup configuration—single coils, humbuckers, or HSS.
