biliousfrog Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 I've just read about vintage (I think) using a rotary pot to coil-tap a humbucker, apparently Peavy used to do it to. This sounds quite cool, being able to have a humbucker partially tapped. How easy is this to set up & can it be achieved with a normal pot? I don't have any plans on using it yet but would be good to know for a possible future project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al heeley Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 So instead of being switched 100% to earth by a toggle, it would go via a variable pot to earth, I suppose. Interesting if it works. I wonder what max resistance would need to be to ensure none of the tap gets to earth, for full HB mode...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhoads56 Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 there are some schematics and drawings on the forum, as this was discussed at least twice recently. Search is your friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
