Cade Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 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.

hillbilly deluxe Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 How about this ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cade Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 Looks great, thanks for that! But does it give full control over both pickups? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icastle Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cade Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
