Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference in how these two products work?
The TS-1 is a switching ring that mounts to your existing humbucker and lets you change wiring modes on the fly via two switches. The LIBERATOR is a complete solderless wiring harness with an integrated volume pot designed to make pickup installation and swaps faster and easier.
Do I need soldering experience to install either product?
The TS-1 requires standard soldering for initial guitar wiring but adds no additional solder work once installed. The LIBERATOR requires no soldering at all—it uses screw-clamp connectors to accept pickup leads without a soldering iron.
Which is better for players who change pickups frequently?
The LIBERATOR is designed specifically for pickup swaps, with its solderless quick-connect architecture eliminating rewiring each time. The TS-1 assumes you're keeping the same pickup and just want to change how it's wired.
Do these products work together or are they alternatives?
They serve different purposes. The TS-1 adds switching capability to a single pickup; the LIBERATOR is a complete wiring system. You would not typically use both in the same installation.
