pot

I want to make a disclaimer that I know nothing about wiring guitars. I plan to learn with a new guitar kit that I'm going to buy soon, but for now I am paying someone else to do it for me because it's an extremely complicated job. Anyway. I tried to get my guitar set up with a luthier who is...

Hey all, I'm looking for a specific type of pot for my Partscaster. My Ibanez S1520FB has a volume pot that has a "notch" in it where it'll click at ~50%, making it really easy to switch between full volume, half volume, and off. However, when I search for "notched guitar pot", I can't find any...

How do you wire TWO humbuckers to be coil-split by one of these? I purchased one of these MojoTone CTS DPDT Push-Pull pots. There's only one wiring diagram I found which doesn't answer my question. Maybe this makes sense for the more electrically inclined

I have a Conklin GTG-7 and it has a push/pull tone pot for coil split. I have noticed though that when its pulled out and coil split is on (not sure how to word this) but when its on it is very very noisy. People say thats normal but when its not engaged I can hear the same noise but very very...

Im going to remove 2 tone pots and 1 volume so live only 1 volume pot for use on my lp! What plastic caps i need to find to fit the hole perfectly?

Yeah this might sound stupid, but I've always wanted to know. The only thing I've gathered is that they are what controls volume and tone. The aftermarket ones at GC are all under $30. Is it worth upgrading? Seems like a really cheap upgrade that I hear a lot of people do. Some of these pots...

Hi Im upgrading in a few days my rg7321 bridge pup to sd nazgul(yes im very happy :-)) and thinking,getting rid of tone knob.I never use it.Its always in 10.I googled many posts about that and many people removed it without problems.Also i read without tone knob,pot some of the guys had better...

Hi. I have just bought and modded a guitar (someone is borrowing my camera so NGD is still on its way) and all is working fine except the volume pot. This guitar is my 'Idiot' guitar that I have been using to play around and experiment. It has a 3 way switch as well as switches for series, split...

I have always had guitars with passive pickups. I have also always disconnected the tone knob to brighten up the guitars top end. My new guitar will have active EMG 707's. Can i do the same thing with these or is there more to it than just disconnecting the tone pots' wires?

buncha issues on my RGA8 with D-Activator 8's: 1) when I back off my tone pot completely, my volume takes a severe hit. I suspect I used too large of a capacitor value. Unfortunately, I am not even sure what value I used, but it seems to be fairly big physically compared to most caps I've...

An hour ago I saw in a post that a person had disabled (unsoldered from the circuit) the Tone pot when he was replacing pickups. Since I NEVER use the tone pot I was wondering if the sound could benefit of having it disabled from the circuit.

Hi Forum, I have a guitar with an invader in the bridge and I'm planning a rewire bc the original components are very cheap. I'm interested in 1 mega ohm pots (to add brightness, open up the sound, etc), however, I can't seem to ascertain whether I should install 1mohm volume pot, tone pot or...

Here's the simple deal. I've got my Squier Affinity Telecaster for about 1.5 years now, and I just love it. Not the sound really, what would you expect from a 120€ guitar, but just the fact that it is my first guitar. Now I'd like to make her a bit better sounding, but i'd like to keep the...

Hi guys, I'm new to the forum, I've recently started building a parts caster and have come up against a problem with the midi part of my plan. Using a Graphtech Ghost Piezo pickup and 13 pin jack I'm confused about some of the electronics. To save on controls knobs and switches I was wandering...

Due to St Patrick's Day I had two very green, completely wasted labourers try to venture into my lesson room thisevening at around 8:30pm while I was teaching a student. The main door down on the street (I teach above a shop) is sometimes left open and it's never really an issue due to the...
