avengers63 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 single P-100 in the bridge 250K volume pot 50K tone pot with .22 cap I get plenty of sound when a distortion pedal is on, but almost nothing without one. Plugged directly into the amp (no pedals) I get virtually nothing even when the gain is maxed. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avengers63 Posted June 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Fiddeling around with it a little more, I can get SOME output, but only when the pup is so close to the string that it's almost touching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 I would guess that you're losing most of your signal with such a low impedance(fixed with the preamp in the distortion pedal). Try a 250 or 500K tone pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borge Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 Agreed. But if the 50k is a typo, a schematic and pics would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avengers63 Posted June 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 The 50K is not a typo. I'll give that a whirl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
