The K9-H is a version of our K9 Strat harness designed for splitting ordinary bridge (and /or neck) humbucker (HSS or HSH) to single coil operation. The footprint template is the same as the K9. The two main differences are ...
1) the volume pot load changes from 500K to 250K when a Strat pickup is selected.
2) The K9 Push/Push switch splits one or two normal humbucker(s) to single coil operation in the ‘OUT’ position regardless of selector switch position.
3) The K9 Push/Push switch does not connect bridge and middle in series as the K9 does.
The 500k rotary aspect of the K9 Push/Push control mixes the neck pickups to the output (and to whatever other pickups or combinations thereof is selected by the selector switch) so it's easy to have all 3 pickups on at the same time. The volume pot has the famous Kinman treble bypass filter so you won't lose highs when you turn the volume down. However, please read our Blog Article titled "Any old cable won't do" The Tone pot is a 500k No-Load type without detent.
A unique additional feature is the internal slide switch where you can select either of 2 tone caps, the Kinman High Definition Tone control, or a regular tone control if you want normal extreme treble cut (watch this YouTube demo). Another unique feature is the pots and K9 control are user replaceable without soldering (in the rare event one needs to be replaced).
