SpankySpectacular

Spanky, I am sure this is confusing as it appears you now wired the kill switch back to the way I originaly told you. Either way will work and the idea is to short the signal to ground so nothing is sent to the amp. If you merely used the switch to disconnect the signal from the output jack versus shorting it to ground then it would probably cause hum in the amp when you enabled the kill switch.

You still however have the tone control blue wire on the outside leg and it should be connected to the middle wiper lead of the pot.

I mean't to change the killswitch back to this way on the diagram before this one. I like this way better, i think it makes sense to me.

The tone control is wired to the middle, it's just my bad diagram.

Okay,

Is that right?

Is this all correct then?

Your kill switch only needs to be a SPST like in your first diagram. Connect the other lug to ground. This will keep everything quiet.

Would it be any different if I did it the second way? Only I have lots of spdt switches and only 3 spsts, it would mean hunting some more down.

Personally, I would move the tone and varitone connections from the center vol control lug to the right side lug - but that's just me.

What kind difference would that make? Is it just easier? Or will it sound different?

Thanks by the way.

Thanks again, here is a revised version. Is it right? Well its not right because i'm not sure where the 2nd wire fron the single coils goes to, but other than that...

The DTDP switch is there to, supposedly, switch between standard humbucker, coils in parallel and coil tapped. But i'm not certain it's correct.

Run the pickups to your on/off switches then all together at the volume pot. Tone pot then can be wired to the volume pot just like the varitone. You may want to use a SPDT on your kill switch and run one side to ground and the other to the output jack with the output from the volume pot in the middle. This will keep the amp quiet when the kill switch is off.

Thanks Mammoth,

Few more questions though.

Would that be the same in the case of the pickup switches then? I mean using spdt switches and grounding them?

While i'm here, do the green wires off the single coil pickups (on my diagram) go to ground? <- Sorted this out.

Where does the humbucker ground come from and go to?

Which lug/s of the dpdt switch are the output?

Sorry if this is really obvious stuff, but i haven't done much like this before.

Hello, i'm new here and am enjoying reading this site a lot. It's given me a lot of ideas for mods and tweaks.

Wondered if anyone would be willing to help me with my wiring, as I haven't a clue what i'm doing really and put this together by looking at other plans and stuff.

How do i connect the pickups to the switches? Do they need to be connected together before they go to the volume pot? And how does the tone pot connect into the circuit?

If there's anything else wrong with it, could you point it out to me please?

Thanks.
