Hey guys,
I've built a bunch of guitars and a bunch of pedals but I've never actually plotted out my own circuit. Here's what I'm trying to accomplish with an MN taper dual gang pot and a humbucker:
Dial Position
- Centre detent - full humbucker (ie both coils wired in series, polarity reversed on one side)
- Full right - right coil only
- Full left - left coil only
And here's what I've got for the wiring:
(as per Seymour Duncan colour codes)
GREEN = start of adjustable/south coil
RED = finish of adjustable/south coil
BLACK = start of stud/north coil
WHITE = finish of stud/north coil
So my thinking is that Green will always go to ground, and on the top pot the wiper blends between ground and the hot output of the south coil (red), then feeds that on to the north coil (white). On the bottom pot, I have the hot output (yellow) from the wiper panning between the output of the north coil and the output of the south coil. It seems okay to me, but I'm wondering if there's an issue in wiring the south coil output to both pots. I can live with a bit of weirdness in the blend between the black and red on the bottom pot, as long as it behaves properly at both extents of the taper.
Any help from someone more experienced with this sort of thing would be much appreciated!
