    You can use it anytime you wish. Just reach down and slide the selector switch 2 places down from the neck pick-up position. At times you can go down 2 more places and chose the bridge pick-up. That is an awesome sound for screaming solos.

    How does one maximize the quack? I have been fiddling with the heights on my pickups and notice the quack is sometimes more pronounced and sometimes less so, but I've yet to figure out the underlying concept. I once ran acroos a discussion of this sort on the net, but I cannot seem to find it again.

    BTW, I was in a guitar store today and played an EC Strat through a Badcat Cub II, Donald was in da house!

    Some pickups have the ability to quack better than others. Maybe yours don't do it that well? I found on an older Peavey Predator Plus that I had I couldn't get the quack thing to happen.

    I can get it to quack, but I'm sure that better pups would help. What woud be your suggestion? Fralins?

    Buy a duck, and have the duck play the guitar!

    Sorry Tot, couldn't resist!!!

    EDIT: In fact, if you get that AFLACK duck, you'll be guaranteed a lot of Quack!
