abt Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 Greets, I'm trying to figure out how to, or even if it's possible to create a dual output wiring that can also work in a more conventional way. What I want is to wire the neck and bridge pickups to individual outputs, like two lots of this: https://guitarelectronics.com/1-humbucker-1-volume/ but still be able to use it in a more conventional way with a single cable like this: http://guitarelectronics.com/2-humbuckers-3-way-lever-switch-2-volumes-1-tone/ So if I had two cables plugged in the 3-way switch would do nothing and the neck and bridge pups would go to individual outputs, but if I had one cable plugged in then the neck and bridge pups would go to one output depending on the 3-way switch position. I can't get my brain around it. I'm happy to add another switch if needed. THANKS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted May 27, 2017 Report Share Posted May 27, 2017 Have you see the mono/stereo output of the Rick-O-Sound circuits? That sounds like it would be the perfect fit for your requirements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abt Posted May 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 @Prostheta Thanks for this. I think this would work well for me. Something like this: I'm not sure what they call that switching jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curtisa Posted May 28, 2017 Report Share Posted May 28, 2017 The second jack that splits the two pickup signals when the second lead is plugged in needs to be a switching jack with an isolated SPDT element. Something like this: https://www.musikding.de/63mm-Stereo-jack-isolated-with-2-SPDT-switches They should be reasonably easy to get at most any bricks and mortar electronics component store. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
