Neil. Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 right... so basically, i just noticed a little problem. I though i ordered 2 x 500k pots for a 1tone,1vol setup. Fail. I've 1 500k and 1 250k. Now i have a recollection of coming across a 1tone 1 vol circuit with a 250k for tone and a different capacitor. anyone wanna help me with this, or will i go search in town for a 500k?

tomrulez Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 I've always used 250k as tones, it shouldn't make too much of a difference really. People use 500k as it's not as bright. Just increase the size of the cap a little to make up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phill Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 it'll work, the results will just vary. stuff like that is all preference i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil. Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 well i was going by the cirtuit on the seymour duncan site. they use a 500k for vol and a 500k for tone with a .47 cap. if i used a 250k, what cap will i need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bshuker Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Why use a 5-way with two pickups? You would end up with two positions that did nothing. LOL NOOB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just use a .47, it will hardly make any difference and I'm sure 250k is what most people use for tone despite SD using 500k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedster Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 okay im abit worried one of my guitars has 1 humbucker (yea it was that one i was making a huge fuzz about how to wire with dumb questions like how to wire up only 1 volume, sorry about that) when i play with it on distortion, it sounds great. when i play with it on clean it gets an annoying buzz no its not fretbuzz, i think its from the humbucker. i just wonder why the hell do i have this? its a Bridge Pickup, it shouldnt be making that kinda noise! i know its hard to understand what im actually asking about but basically it is. when i have it in clean without any effects at all, it makes an annoying buzz. when its not plugged in to the amp it doesnt, so it cannot possibly be fretbuzz. could this come from the Humbucker?

tomrulez Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Does the buzz go away when you touch the strings? My guess is that something isn't grounded somewhere. You do have your bridge grounded, don't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedster Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Does the buzz go away when you touch the strings? My guess is that something isn't grounded somewhere. everything is grounded as its supposed to im talking about just when i play it in clean, like its a kind of a crackly buzz but its still the guitar there it only occurs when i play the strings slightly hard not like the normal you get when you play the strings hard lets say you play "Doomsday" by Atreyu in clean then this huge annoying Crackle just suddenly appears when you hit the strings with a pick. the wiring is like normal, Output jack grounded Humbucker grounded and Bridge grounded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomrulez Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Could you stop using a new line for every sentence, it's getting rather annoying. Is the pickup really close to the strings? Also is the output jack loose? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomrulez Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Yes they are, why you would use one instead of a standard 3-way I do not know though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedster Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 Yes they are, why you would use one instead of a standard 3-way I do not know though. its just a question, i dont think i will be using it, but aslong as i know its possible should i wire it like a normal 3 way then? hot wire to Pot in the middle?

tomrulez Posted December 3, 2008 Share Posted December 3, 2008 No you need to wire it differently for it to work, are you using two single coils or two humbuckers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
