DUAL LAYER BZZZZKILL

Installed Dual Layer Bzzzzkill with no problems. Little more effort than the single layer but not much. This guitar I installed the dual layer in has a full aluminum pickguard shield plate in it and it’s completely quite. It’s a worthwhile addition to add the shield if it doesn’t have one and put the bzzzzkill in at same time. Very nice. Thanks fellows. 👍

works great at eliminating single coil hum

I discovered buzzkill recently as I was considering some expensive noiseless pickups as a solution, but I’ve enjoyed the tone (minus the buzz) of my custom shop fat 50’s pickups that came stock on my Strat.

Pleased to report back the product works as advertised, I’ve had a wonderful experience with everyone in the company, customer service was outstanding.

I endorse and recommend this product and company, had a great experience overall! I will be keen on the future products they release. :)

Fantastic product, fantastic support! Everyone with asingle coil Strat should install on, it makes a huge difference!

I have installed the bzzzzkill system on my 1983 squire Japan Strat. I am using Texas special pickups. I have installed a dual bzzzzkill system in my strat. So the reverse wound middle is also hum cancelling..when used alone. My thoughts on the system?
1 it does slightly alter tone but actually I find in a good way takes some of the harshness out of a pickup.. around 4-6k I have installed a dpdt push push switch in one of the tone pots to be able to bypass this system when I don't need it. All systems affect tone anyone telling you different is lying to you. But this affects tone in a good way. It smooths things out.. for clean it's nice to be able to bypass so you can get some of the glass like too end when you need it. My thoughts are this is a good system although not perfect it's better than most I have see or tried. My two cents. My background I have been a professional live sound engineer for over 30 years a amp tech for over 30 years and a guitar player for 49 years... I have owned hundreds of guitars fixed thousands of amps. And I have no skin in this game.
For $200 it's a bargain.

I installed a dual layer BzzzKill on a 2002 Fender Stratocaster. The original pickups were replaced with a Fender pre-wired pickguard setup with Texas Special pickups. The guitar is much quieter now and I would recommend this product, not to mention their high-quality customer service. After my first try at installing the BzzzKill and not getting very much noise reduction, I sent them a video of my installation and requested help. They replied with very thoughtful suggestions and other good tips on how to fix the problem. Below are some problems that I encounter that may be helpful to others.
When I first tried to install the BzzzKill, I was not hearing any real difference in the amount of hum whether I had the black or white wire attached to the pickup and the other wire attached to the ground. What I found was causing this was the soldering iron station. Once I turned it off, there was a lot less hum and I was then able to hear a difference in the amount of hum depending on which wire was attached to the pickup as shown in the installation video.
One other thing that I found could cause hum and a crackling noise through the guitar was my phone. When I placed it too close to the guitar while recording a video, I would get this extra noise. I found that if I recorded the video about a foot or two away from the guitar, I wouldn’t have this phone noise problem.

I've been playing in a local cover band for about 8 years, and always had to choose between my Gibson Les Paul and my Strat depending on the song. The Strat sounded amazing for clean stuff and classic rock, but the second we kicked in any overdrive or distortion, the buzz would drive everyone crazy, especially our sound guy.
I was skeptical about BzzzzKill at first (seemed too good to be true), but got to say I'm blown away. We played a 3-hour gig last weekend and I used the Strat for everything - even the heavier Foo Fighters and Pearl Jam covers that I always used to switch to the Gibson for.
The tone is exactly the same as before from what I can tell, just with no annoying buzz. Our keyboard player, who didn't know I had changed anything, even commented that my guitar sounded "cleaner" through the monitors.
Installation was quick for our tech, and he said the video was helpful. Worth every penny to finally have my fave guitar be my go-to for any song in our setlist. Never thought I would.
Wish I'd had this sooner!

Works like a charm….

Amazing add-on. This is literally a game changer for me. I play punk and reggae and my power chords sound as chaotic as before but minus the crappy sounding buzz.

But when I play quieter reggae or zouk it makes it sound WAY more professional. You get that nice tight strat tone but you can finger pick without worrying someone will notice the buzz now. Reggae stucks sound clean. Solos sound better too.

I used to do looping with my strat and I'd need to try to keep the loops to maybe 1 or 2 because I'd pick up buzz each time I recorded a new loop. Now I can put as many strat loops as my pedals can handle, no buzz.

Highly recommend.

A while back, I tried out my Strat with the newly installed BzzzzKill in front of my computer with my Guitar Rig software. My guitars usually buzz quite badly in this spot, likely due to 2 large monitors nearby that I use for my job. The Strat made no buzz. I thought maybe the stars had aligned and my setup stopped buzzing, but I plugged in my Gibson with normally very quiet humbuckers, and sure enough, loud buzz. My Strat has been notorious for bad buzz since I got it brand new. The only pickup setting I used live on a stage was position 2 and 4, because anything else was too noisy. Now this guitar is super quiet in ALL positions. This gizmo is simply amazing. Most Strat players either have to gut the guitar and change pickups, or live with the buzz. Now I can have the “vintage” sounding tone, with no noise.

My Strat was so noisy that I only used it occasionally, when I needed a specific Strat tone. However since I had the BzzzzKill, it's so clean and quiet it's become my main axe.

BzzzzKill is an amazing product that makes any Strat better than ever.
