Wiring for live wires

Re: Wiring for live wires

The diagram artie made works but you need a 250k taper volume pot to fully shut off the sound.

That means that you still have something wrong. More than likely, its the ground connection to the volume control. Look at this diagram:



When a volume control is on "zero", the output jack is shorted to ground and the pots resistance is removed from the circuit. It doesn't matter whether the pot is 10 ohms or a million ohms.

Double check the ground.
