[quote name='Rumble' post='1220153' date='May 4 2011, 07:16 PM']I'd like to try and avoid messing around with the soldering iron if possible and I've read about folks using quick connectors so that pickups can be swapped in and out with the minimum of fuss. Which connectors do I need; is there a special type?[/quote] As far as I know, the main players in this area are EMG, though there may be others.

[font="Georgia"]Hi All! Just wondered if anyone had any opinions on the sound/build quality of both the Mackie 402 and/or the Soundcraft Compact 4 as I have my eye on each of these on the 'bay at the moment. Also, any thoughts on the Tapco Mix 60 or Blend 6? Peavey PV6? Any other small mixer? Need one for monitoring with in-ears and for home practice with CD/MP3/iPhone mix to earphones. Thanks so much! Cheers, C.[/font]

Now sold as of this weekend. Thanks for all the interest! -
Hi all! A friend asked me to come over and see if an old amp he's found "is worth anything". Went and had a look and it turns out to be a dusty old Acoustic 126 which is rated at 100 watts and is loaded with a 15" speaker. I confess I've never heard an Acoistic amp in full swing but I gather there's a decent following for them amongst those in the know. Now, I didn't plug it in and I have no idea if it works not at all or flawlessly. I have to admit that the UK plug and the 120v written at the power socket is, at best, a concern. I twisted all the pots and sliders and they all feel great but that means nothing at this point I guess. Despite being in the market for an amp, this is exactly what I'm not looking for. For all I know, this is the holy grail of amp-ness but I am much more interested in a small, portable head/cab. However, I'm keen to help my friend out and to help get this wee beastie to a loving home if there's interest out there. So, I'm putting this up here just now to see if there's any interest. I plan on making another trip to plug n' play and give it a wee dusting and I'll update here again after that. The amp is in Glasgow, by the way, but can be boxed up, ready to ship anywhere. I honestly have to idea of the value to put on this. So, because I have to, we'll call it £200 and if that's too high (or low!), you be sure to tell me! Cheers! C. -

Delighted to report that the circuit works beautifully and will hold me over 'till the just-purchased AMG BQC System arrives from the USA. Thanks for all the help folks! Cheers, C.

[quote name='icastle' post='1183473' date='Mar 31 2011, 03:51 PM']It's a rather odd requirement so it's unlikely you'll find exactly what you're after - although hillbilly deluxe's circuit comes close (passive pups instead of active ones). If you look at the SD diagram you posted earlier you can see where the wires join onto the tone pot - follow them a bit further and you'll see where they join the volume pot. Just leave the tone pot out and connect the wires to their corresponding locations on the first volume pot.[/quote] So, refering to the SD diagram, all I need to do is get the black wire coming from the middle pot and unhook it from the centre lug of the tone pot and just solder it to the jack tip?

Looks great, thanks for that! But does it give full control over both pickups?

Hi All! As a temporary measure, I need to wire up two pickups (active EMGs) to two Volume pots then straight to stereo jack. As it's fairly unusual, I can't seem to find a diagram that covers the scenario. The closest I can get is [url="http://www.seymourduncan.com/support/wiring-diagrams/schematics.php?schematic=active_soapbar"]this diagram[/url] but that still has a master passive tone in the circuit. Through trial and error, I could probably come up with a solution, but if you know of a diagram that already exists, please do tell! :-) Cheers, C.

Bought a couple of EMG pickups. Everything as described but, more importantly, totally ace guy to deal with. Loads of feedback, help, etc. Thanks!!!

Just a wee bump: this is still available. Had it out over the weekend and worked a treat. It's going to make someone very happy ...
