4 Volume Pots?

Recommended Posts

I've got a new LP....

and rewired it using the diagram

on guitarelectronics.com the problem is

my tone pots don't act as as a tone control

it also act as a volume control....

then I rewired it using guitarnuts wiring for

vintage LPs...

the same problem occur? I just dont get it....

I've rewired a lot of LPs.. but this one is one of a kind...

Do my pickups have a problem?

I'm using a DIMARZIO 80's PAF with

two stranded condustor (white and black)

and 1 solid conductor wire.

Please help guys!!!

:D

Did you forget to put capacitors on the tone pots by any chance?

no.. i didn't... actually right now... i'm into trouble

shooting it...

i've removed the capacitor from bridge position...

just the capacitor. to hear the difference between the

neck pickups which still has a capacitor....

ANd.... wala!!!! the same thing... the neck tone pot

and the bridge tone pot act as a volume control. (volume position: 10)

Sir Primal,

I've checked the reading of the Dimarzio pickups... no reading (no resistance)

but working.... Miracle? :D

thanks!!!

If you try reading the impedance of the pickups, make sure your meter is set to the correct range. Mine has settings for up to 20, 200, 2k, 20k, etc. For pickups, you'd need the 20k setting or thereabouts.

Your pickups would have absolutely no effect on whether or not a pot works as a tone or volume.

Try SD's wiring diagram: http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/schem...h_2v_2t_3w.html
