This is a more conventional thing - an analogue pickup but with several coil and magnet combinations. Like an SD P-rail taken further.
It's not the same thing really- it's all analogue for a start. From what I can work out, the pickup is made up of three different coils and the rotary switch lets you engage different combinations of coils to get you different sounds.
The Variax is meant to be a model of an entire guitar, not just the pickups.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
Duncan P-Rails is two coils. Hence, four permutations. (Unless you also add a DPDT on-on switch for phase reversal.)
Alegree Chameleon has six output conductors, suggesting three coils but it might actually have four. (One of the coils is always operational. The others are added to complete each of the combinations.)
Outwardly, it would appear that the Alameda pickups have more in common with the Alegree Chameleon design.
One of the company's other YouTube videos demonstrates the Off Kiltertrons in an S-type guitar. Plenty of sonic variety on offer but never as convincing as when installed on a fully hollow guitar.
