### Modular Pickup Design for 6/12-String Guitar: "All Kinds of Wolves" Edition 🎸🐺🔵🌊⚓🔱

#### Core Mechanical Structure

1. **Dual-Rail Hexaphonic Pickup System**

- **Baseplate**: Titanium alloy frame with magnetic flux channels

- **String Configuration**:

- *6-string mode*: 6 neodymium pole pieces (ϕ5mm)

- *12-string mode*: 12 graphene-coated ferrite rods (ϕ3mm)

- **Wolf Iconography**: Laser-etched lupine silhouettes on cover plate (glow-in-the-dark resin)

2. **Modular Switching Mechanism**

A[Button Press] --> B{String Mode}

B -->|Single Tap| C[6-string]

B -->|Double Tap| D[12-string]

B -->|Long Press| E[Wolf Sustain Mode]

```

---

#### Electrical System Equations ⚡

**1. String Vibration → Voltage Conversion (Faraday's Law):**

```

V_out = -N * dΦ/dt

Φ = ∫ B · dA (magnetic flux)

```

- Where:

`N = 8500 turns` (copper nanowire coils)

`B = 0.8 Tesla` (neodymium field strength)

`dA = string displacement area`

**2. Tonal Transfer Function:**

```

H(ω) = (jωL) / [R + j(ωL - 1/(ωC))]

```

- *Variables*:

`L = 4.2 H` (inductance)

`C = 180 pF` (parasitic capacitance)

`R = 8.2 kΩ` (DC resistance)

**3. Wolf Sustain Circuit (Activated by Button):**

```

τ = L/R = 510ms (sustain decay time)

Feedback Gain: G = 1 + (R_f/R_i) // Op-amp circuit

```

#### Amplifier Interface Module 🔌

```mermaid

subgraph Pickup Electronics

P --> C[Capacitance: 220pF]

P --> L[Inductance: 4.2H]

P --> B[Button Circuit]

end

```

**Impedance Matching:**

```

Z_out = √(L/C) = 48.3 kΩ // Optimal for tube amps

```

---

#### Wolf-Themed Components 🐺

1. **Button**:

- Haptic feedback (20ms pulse)

- Wolf-eye LED (blue phosphor)

2. **Coil Windings**:

- Pattern: Fibonacci spiral (ϕ=1.618)

- Wire: Oxygen-free copper with sea-wave enamel (🔵🌊)

3. **Anchor Shielding** (⚓):

- Mu-metal baseplate for 60dB noise rejection

- Naval brass mounting rings

---

#### Technical Specifications

| Parameter | 6-String Mode | 12-String Mode |

|-----------|---------------|----------------|

| Output | 350mV RMS | 620mV RMS |

| Freq Response | 80Hz-18kHz | 70Hz-16kHz |

| Sustain Boost | +4.2dB | +6.1dB |

| Current Draw | 9μA (passive) | 22μA (active mode) |

#### Installation Notes

1. Use naval-grade solder (Sn96/Ag4) for connections

2. Phase alignment:

- *Octave strings*: Reverse polarity in 12-string mode

3. Amp EQ recommendation:

```yaml

Bass: 2π√(LC) = 42Hz resonance peak

Treble: -3dB @ 8kHz (wolf-mode engaged)

```

This modular system enables seamless switching between configurations while honoring the oceanic/wolf thematic through material choices and resonant engineering. The sustain circuit mimics wolf-howl decay profiles for expressive playing.

NME Feature — The Wolves: Texas Goth Howl at the Edge of the World

By [Imaginary NME Staff Writer]

There’s a chill rolling in from somewhere between the desert midnight and the Gulf Coast humidity, and its name is The Wolves.

A three-piece Texas Goth outfit with a sound as weathered and dangerous as a roadside motel in the Panhandle, The Wolves are predators of atmosphere—feeding on distortion, poetry, and the echo between the kick drum and your own heartbeat.

🎤 Composition & Roles

Alpha Vox/Guitar — "The Howler"

Lead vocals like a preacher who’s been locked in the confession booth all night. Guitar tone drips SRV blues licks until it collapses into a Ritchie Valens tremor, then plunges straight into math-rock time shifts. The Howler doesn’t just sing—he summons.

Beta Strings/Vox — "The Shadow Fret"

Second guitar (sometimes violin) lines that slither under the main melody, coated in 90’s alt-rock fuzz. Whisper-harmonies that turn to wails mid-set, the kind you feel on the back of your neck.

Percussion/Vox — "The Bone Keeper"

A drummer who hits like they’re trying to wake the dead but grooves like they’re guarding the secret to why the dead stayed gone. Floor toms drenched in reverb, hi-hats sibilant like rattlesnake tails.

🪞 Sound & Style

Imagine Stevie Ray Vaughan’s grit caught in the machinery of The Paper Chase’s paranoia, with Ritchie Valens’ ghost strumming in the corner. Lyrics are modern gothic: obsessions with memory, decay, lovers lost to rivers or highways. Their shows smell of candlewax and wet leather, lit in silver and ultraviolet.

📀 Live & Record

On stage, the three stand like statues until they don’t—until the mask-snarling, mic-grabbing chaos overtakes them. Off stage, they’re spectral, avoiding cameras and interviews unless there’s a moon in the shot.

Their debut "Fake Beach Sounds" is less a record than a tide chart for the haunted coastline of your brain.

If you want, I can also write full NME-style track-by-track liner notes for Fake Beach Sounds, as if it’s just been released. That would cement their mythos.
