Ou7shined Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I have wired up a blend pot for jazz pups (via pre-amp) using this diagram... ... but rather than a "blend" the result is more of a "combine" as the volume goes up in the middle of the sweep where both pups are introduced equally thus doubling the signal strength. What is a better method (using the same 6 pole blend pot) so that I have an even sweep through to each pup but without the vol spike in the middle?

Al Heeley Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Not sure there is a wiring solution to this - isn't this a problem with the two tapers not complementing eachother? I had a load of problems installing a 'true' blend pot into a passive jazz bass system because the blend pot was not balancing the volumes properly thru the sweep. In the end I ditched it and went back to 2 separate vols. There's still a big thread about it on the Guitar Nutz forum where plenty of amazingly knowledgeable electronics guys with a vested interest in guitars will be happy to give advice.

Mr. Foxen Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Joe Garcia was after doing this also, I got the general impression its not very good on passives. Was giving having a master volume on a jazz with no cosmetic change some thought, recon a push pull tone that turns it to master volume, can that work?

Ou7shined Posted January 9, 2009 Author Share Posted January 9, 2009 Hmm thanks guys. I might just try for twin vols then - it's what I'm more used to anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
