I started a project 9 years ago that has just been sitting since I don’t have the knowledge base to solve a problem I’m having: I have wound pickups for individual strings on a project guitar. I want to be able to mix these pickups from both of two pickup positions into a one-both-one, two channel output (so I can send the output from any string to one of two amps, or both). I built in a passive mixer with resistors in series with the pickup output into the 3 way switches to isolate the pickups from each other, but I was, and still am operating from relative ignorance to the value of these resistors that would work. When I built it, the output is super low, so I’m wondering if my idea is failed at the outset, or whether it’s just a question of using the wrong resistors. Any help in progressing my question to the point it’s understandable to you knowledgeable folks, and even to the point it’s successful would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
