Just had a look at the Belcat website - the preamp section is huge! By any chance can you remember which one you got Pabs?

This is the one. I snipped off the blend pot.

I know! I know!
It's the same arrangement as on an OLP MM copy I had. Each coil of the pickup is wired out to its own volume control and there's a common tone control. So it's rather like a standard JB arrangement, except the two coils are sitting next to each other rather than spaced apart.
The PBG wiring diagram shows it: http://www.pitbullguitars.com/wp-con...MMB-4_2014.pdf
On the OLP, the effect of both coils on fully was a very full deep rich sound, a lot thicker than a PB sound and not really like two single coils in parallel. But that's obviously how they're wired on the PBG kit. By mixing the two volume levels you could get quite a wide range of tones - though unless the volumes were matched, you did get some buzz creeping in as you lost the noise-cancelling effect.
Yep, it's probably a bit clearer with the SD MM 2V 1T diagram (for those interested).
Scott.
Thanks Simon and Weirdy, those two diagrams finally have it making sense!
