dude Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Has anyone ever made a guitar with 2 pickups and a knob to adjust the balance between them rather than a selector switch? This would let you turn either or both on at whichever level you want while using only one knob (rather than 1 volume for each) and leaving the master volume unchanged. You'd need a linear pot with one pickup wired to tab one, the other wired to tab 3, and the output from tab 2. Has it been done, and if it hasn't, would it work?

hooglebug Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 lots of basses and a few guitars use this - its called a blend control. they're usually centre detented pots with two sets of lugs (tabs) as in these from stewmac - link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mammoth guitars Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 We have done that but with a double or blend pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick500 Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Yeah, a few of my Carvins have blend pots. I like the arrangement quite a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
