NancyJohnson Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Years ago I had a Fender Precision which, in one of my moments, I wired the pickup straight into the output jack; it worked fine really, perhaps a bit brighter than going through the volume and tone pots. I'm wondering whether anyone has a wiring schematic that would allow me to put a small toggle switch on the scratchplate that would allow me to switch from a fully open circuit configuration to one that passes through the volume and tone pots.

itu Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Check the net and picture search for DPDT bypass switch. Two top poles should be wired together and the signal goes in from the other middle pole and out from the other. Pots are connected to the two lowest poles. A picture will open this up for you. If you do not want to make any holes, consider buying a pot that has a DPDT switch. Just push the pot and the signal goes straight to the output. Nice hidden feature.

jrixn1 Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 I've heard of (but never used myself) a "no load pot" which takes itself out of the circuit when fully open Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Would something like this work? Switch could be either a normal DPDT or a push-pull pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
