Grissle Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Anyone have a simple diagram for doing this? Maybe even adding an .01 to be able to just take the top off. So .01/.022/.047. Will I need a SPDT or DPDT? I'm guessing SPDT for 2 caps and DPDT for 3 caps?

AngelLaHash Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 (edited) Well for 2 or 3 you can use a SPDT Switch Just need to have one that dose On/On/On or On/Off/On So you would have say 12-15nF (0.012-0.015uF) from the Center pin (i am guessing this is a TONE SWITCH) and the other end of the Leg to Earth And on the sides of the Switch you use a 8.2-10nF (0.0082-0.01uF) and a 33nF This will give you a range of (20.2nF/23.2nF) - (12nF/15nF) - (45nF/48nF) {dont forget that 5% error factor on each cap any way, IE there is no TRUE 47nF} The On/Off/On Toggle is a LOT cheaper than a (On/on/on) I need to find a dam good data base to upload circuits on to <for now i got it in my Avatar image thing> Basically lets you Select (12or15)+33 = 45or48nF, Middle will just be (12or15)nF and the other side will be (8.2or10)+(12or15)=(20.2-25)nF Edited May 2, 2013 by AngelLaHash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AngelLaHash Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Sorry i suck on explainging things [url="http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f38/wiring-022-047-caps-switch-980855/"]http://www.talkbass.com/forum/f38/wiring-022-047-caps-switch-980855/[/url] the way i suggested is the cheapest, smallest too <Smaller Switch, Smaller Caps> Could also get a good range of sounds with Mixing the Cap types too ie Change the 12/15nF for a different type that Polyester (and i dont know why i put 2P2T, it should be 1P2T) The 1P2T or 2P2T (on/off/on) is cheap £1 or less the 2P2T (on/on/on) is £4 give or take a £1 (ahh US) If its the SIZE of the Caps, ie 47nF is the same as a 22+15+10 there all in PAR with each other they are just ADDED UP like Resisters in SERIES, people should use that fact more than just buy a dear 2P2T (On/On/On) Its Bad workmanship <get the Most out of the Min> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelLaHash Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) You make some thing SMALLER/CHEAPER and they still want the OLD WAYS !! mm well i would go for a 100nF (0.1uF) one myself I only did one TONE pot because a P-Bass tend to only have one Smaller SWITCH with a 1P2T, Cheaper too with only be a On/On/On, Will costs less on the CAPS as uses 22nF (0.022uF) Caps and a 82nF (0.082uF) Also i think if you use the middle 22nF (0.022uF) one as a different type than Polyester, MIGHT be able to get a faction different tone from the 104nF (0.1uF) and the 44nF (0.044uF) yes i know its 3nF (0.003uF/3000pF) out of the 47nF (0.047uF) but you do have a 5% tol any way, and i dont think you will notice the diff with a 47nF(0.047uF) and a 44nF(0.044uF) or the 100nF (0.1uF) and the 104nF (0.104uF) --cadfael values-- was suggested to change the 22nF for a 27nf on the far side, and he is right Edited May 4, 2013 by AngelLaHash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelLaHash Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 2P2T (on/on/on) version for the Values 100nF/47nF/22nF # One type of CAP and one Switch, and in ORDER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
