6 Pots is fine, besides you can always use concentric pots for some of them which will lower the amount of pots visable down.

Yah, but I'm putting switches on all of them... All these dratted pots cost wayy to much

Oh well it's just an Idea.

Will I ever do it?

Hmmm...

Darn

These pots cost a smal fortune

That about covers it. You'll have a switch freak's axe when you're done, but you'll be able to do a hell of a lot with it.

Now, if you REALLY want to get complex, you can pick which coil to tap. That would allow you to have hum-canceling variations of neck/bridge SC. But, I shudder to think how complex the wiring would get; you'd need at least one more DPDT to switch neck or bridge coils (I'd switch neck; using the phantom coil of the bridge bucker would be very thin).

Now I'm thinking to simply have two humbuckers (a swinsehead AMP, and a DiMarzio FRED). Since the swinsehead has no magnet on the bottom and is polepiece magnetic it could do real single coil.

Neck - DiMarzio FRED with a pickup cover

Bridge - Swineshead AMP

Sustainer - Sustainer Thread Muahahahahaha

Volume/Tone per pickup

Volume pushpull for coil tap (I don't particularly care which one)

Tone boost/cut (9volt) pushpull for phase swap (in or out of phase with the other pickup or sustainer for 5th harmonic feedback)

Tone Frequency pot (selects the frequency boosted/cut - I got this on my Laney Amp. It works like a wah) pushpull for paralell/series

Sustainer Gain pushpull for sustainer on/off

Boring ol' 3 way pickup selector

I know, that's six pots but what the hey. Who cares. On Pete Townshend's custom model, he had four knobs and two switches the size of knobs. It's possible!

What the hey are trisonics?

Yah I heard about these from another thread since my last post

COOL!! Thanks!

Thanks! That's sorta what I meant.

Of course it wouldn't be a standard PushPull Pot... Just make it (I suppose) so that the shaft will interlock with either pot mechanism depending on how you pull it.... Or just have the whole thing in increments of 1/10 the circle and have a star shaped shaft end which goes up and down and shape the inner pot that way. Then, the two SEPERATE pots will always be in sync

But the dual pot is simpler than making one myself (I only wish that I could)

Thanks guys that was the answere I was looking for!

So with this TBX pot... you can set frequncy of a cut..two of them

Can you do something like this in which

Push = Neck Volume

Pull = Bridge Volume

LP in two knobs! YEY

I've asked this in about 5 threads...maybe someone will know of some company who makes this kinda pot!

Thank'ee

What's a stacked concentric Pot

Lemme Guess Push = Bridge volume

Pull= Neck volume

I'm a bit new aroundabouthere...I can try to diagram it.....

I don' t know if it'd help....

If the Concentric pot is what I think it is, I WANT ONE!

Thanks!

Yah, with the boost/cut I meant 9volt

So... What about a pushpull for the volumes of two pickups; put a LP's controls into two knobs

Understood... But I want A wah on my guitar!

Thanks!

Hey,

On my Les Paul (it's a cheapie Austin Vintage Rock...it is an LP) on both pickups, the neck is dominant; it sounds like the neck with just a tiny bit brighter tone. When I have the neck at 8 and the Bridge at 10, bridge begins to shine through.

What causes this? I LOVE it!

I'll want these kinds of subtle interactions on my guitars.

Thank'ee

Ok... since we're talking about crazy pickup wirings....

I came up with the worst one yet...

MiniHum-Hum-MiniHum (all 4pin)

PRS Pickup Selector 5-way (push = Sustainer, Pull = Neck, Mid available)

1. Single Coil Bridge+Neck (Minibucker Single Coils muahahahaha )

2. Single Coil Middle

3. Neck

4. Bridge

5. All

Volume Neck/Bridge (Push = Phase in with Mid, Sustainer; Pull = Phase out with Mid, Sustainer)

Volumer Mid/Sustainer (Push Pull for Paralell/ Series)

Tone boost/cut (9 volt) (Pull)

Frequency of boost/cut (Push)

Ok... so you have a double pot, push = boost/ cut

pull = frequency boosted/cut

My amp does this with two knobs

Do you know of a manufactor that makes this kind of pot?

Thanks!

sorry for posting the same thing twice

stil figuring this out!

Hey...I'm a new person here. I've read the sustainer thread. Great stuff!

Ok... about the Mid cut stuff... I've got an amp (Laney LA30) that has a boost/cut pot and a frequency pot... you can choose which frequency, Mid, Treble, Bass (continually variable) and the amount of boost/cut

Why use a Mid/Treble pot when you can have a continually various one

So... do you know of anyone who makes this in one pot (push is one pot, pull is another) if you do that would be really healpfull!

Switchfoot Rules!
