Kloppmann Dummycoil (DC) & Kits

The Kloppmann Dummycoil (DC) offers an effective solution for reducing the inherent hum and interference commonly associated with single-coil pickups in Stratocaster guitars. Developed with input from acclaimed guitarist Thomas Blug, this device aims to improve your guitar's signal clarity, especially in environments prone to electrical noise.

How It Works: The DC operates by detecting the same interference frequencies as your Stratocaster pickup. It then combines this hum signal in an inverse phase with your pickup's audio signal. This process effectively cancels out the hum, resulting in a cleaner output from your guitar. The design prioritizes noise reduction while aiming to preserve your pickup's core tonal characteristics.

Key Benefits & Features:

• Hum Reduction: Significantly reduces 50/60Hz hum, allowing your Stratocaster's natural tone to be heard more clearly.
• Improved Signal Stability: Contributes to a more stable and quieter signal, which can be particularly noticeable when using higher gain settings.
• Thomas Blug's Input: Developed with practical insights from Thomas Blug, who also utilizes the DC for its noise reduction.
• Flexible Integration: The DC can be integrated into your Stratocaster's wiring in various configurations to suit your existing setup:
  • BLUG Wiring: Ideal for reverse wound, reverse polarity (RwrP) pickup sets, making intermediate positions hum-free.
  • Straight Wiring: Suitable for standard pickup sets, allowing you to maintain your existing tone switching levels without hum.

The Kloppmann Dummycoil offers a practical way to manage hum in your Stratocaster, allowing you to focus on your playing without unwanted noise distractions.
