    Does anyone know how or what is a high pass filter in some of the Ibanez guitars - JS1200 Satriani model is one example.

    Coil Tap & High Pass Filter Push/Pulls are what is listed in the description of the JS1200. I have bought a Dimarzio push/pull pot for my RG2570EX to be installed with a pair of Dimarzio Mo Joe and Paf Pro pickups.

    I think they must have got the wording wrong on that. Surely they dont have a high pass filter in it.... :confused:

    A high-pass filter allows the highs to "pass" and cuts off anything below the set frequency. So it keeps the highs and cuts the lows.

    Its function is so that when you turn the volume down, you don't lose so much high-end as normal (ie the tone is clearer and less wooly).

    Theres wiring diagrams on ibanez.com to show the specifics.

    I bought a 500k push/pull dimarzio pot.
    I want the volume level to remain the same when the volume knob is rolled off from the full 10 down to about 3. The volume control in this situation will kill the overdrive and not the overall volume output.

    I also will have the new Dimarzio pickups wired up, so that when the push/pull pot is engaged, it will change the 2 humbuckers to single coils, as in split coils.
