A new approach to guitar electronics
The ObsidianWire Universal Blender is much more than just a replacement wiring. This pre-wired electronics kit modernizes your guitar while significantly simplifying its installation. Each set is fully assembled, factory tested, and ready to be installed without the need for a soldering iron. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Thanks to the exclusive Plug, Play & Enjoy system, the pickups connect directly to the kit via dedicated connectors. This allows for a clean, quick installation and easy-to-upgrade electronics if you wish to change pickups in the future. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
Compatible with all Type S configurations
Unlike traditional wiring designed for a single configuration, the Universal Blender supports SSS, HSS, HSH, and HHH setups.
Its Intelligent Switching system automatically adjusts the potentiometer values according to the installed pickups. The HSS and HSH configurations automatically switch between 250 kΩ and 500 kΩ to offer optimal performance without additional modification. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
The Blender function
The true asset of this version is its Blender Control.
This control allows you to gradually blend the neck pickup with the bridge pickup, or vice versa, to achieve combinations usually unavailable on a classic 5-way selector. This gives you access to an even richer sound palette without altering the appearance of your guitar. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
When the Blender potentiometer is turned off, the circuit instantly returns to its traditional operation. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
