Dino Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 I'd like to add a push/pull potentiometer to a single volume (no tone) control guitar. Can I use the push/pull pot for both volume and tone? If so, where could I get a good wiring diagram? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekul Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Ive only ever used push/pull pots for splitting coils. Probably your best option would be to use a dual concentric pot. It is just one pot but has two knobs, an outer and an inner. As far as I know that is really the only way to get a tone and volume in the one control. As for wiring diagrams, this site is pretty comprehensive: http://guitarelectronics.zoovy.com/category/wiringresources Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sambo Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Problem would be keeping the tone setting when you have the knob in volume mode. I agree with the dual concentric pots S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekul Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 I remember years ago I had an N4, I loved it, dont know why though. The horns on that guitar seemed so off balance. It was a great project though, I pulled it apart, made templates then made 2 of them out of Silky Oak (lacewood). Nice! ANyway, they had a push/pull pot in them and like Sambo says, keeping the tone in teh volume was the problem. I seem to remeber when I bought mine they were using some sort of "Tone memory" spiel in their ad campaign. Not sure this would have worked though. Again, dual concentric is the way to go.

patman Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 I found what you need. You have probably seen it already because Nekul gave you the link to the website its on (and this topic hasn't been replied to in over a week). Here it is Hope it works.
