Jackson JE-1000

[Warheart]

does anyone know what the three tiny switches do? I know they are a mid shift kinda thing, but does anyone know the specific frequencies?

Also, I'm looking to buy one, or even just a schematic, I want to take it apart and see exactly what everything does.

Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks!

This is what I know:

"By activating the dip switches you can gradually lower the frequency of the pickup resonance peak. The switches can be set in 8 different combinations. In order the combinations are (higher to lower frequency). "

1. all off
2. Activated 1
3 Activated 2
4 Activated 1 & 2
5 Activated 3
6 Activated 1 & 3
7 Activated 2 & 3
8 Activated 1, 2 and 3

Hope it helps. Do you have one?

Aren`t they for bass,middle and high?... At least that`s what I`ve read

Here's a couple old threads where people ask the same thing. Seventhson mentions in both that the exact frequencies affected weren't documented:

Flip the switches until you find something you like. From old posts if I remember correctly, a lot of people liked 'up-down-up' (when looking at the switch in the orientation as in the pic below), which is what I prefer.

Up-down-Up cut`s down the mids...
Just like Metallica has their EQ`s....


Edit: I guess I was right
"JE1000 a simple 3 band EQ -> treble boost on/off, mid boost on/off, bass boost on/off."

I had one a couple of years ago, and now I'm trying to find another one to put in a new guitar... I doubt I'm going to have much luck finding one though...they seem to be pretty rare these days.

Also, the 3 switches...I've seen the MM-04, a Je-1000 clone, and that has 4..does anybody know what the fourth one does?
Thanks again,

I have a Jackson Schon Guitar and the JE1000 in it has 4 switches.

The 4th one does nothing (NO JOKE!!!!)

The 4th switch is an optional upgrade on the MM-04. I don't know what it does, but it certainly does something (Special-K, stop posting if you can't back up what you say!!).

Check this:

I think that Musamaailma will start to produce these and sell them. They now come originally with Alexi's new ESPs and they are mentioned in the specs of the guitar. They probably won't be 1:1 of the JE1000, but they will be real close IMO.

Nazgul that was said in an interview and I think even you said that you heard it ....

But, if all of that is wrong, then maybe it`s just to set how much gain you want...And the others are bass,middle,treble

[Nazgul]

Why would someone pay an upcharge to have an extra switch that does nothing? And you have a trim-pot to set the level of gain.

Oh...
Then the only guess I can give is that it is and extended EQ...
Doesn`t no one know it for sure!?

^^ Love that photo

It's an extended eq. How do I know? because I got 2 of them (both with 4 dips). One installed, one waiting for an axe to put it in.
