1 volume+1 master tone+ singlecoil/humbucker using the second tone control on STRAT

Hello everybody. A question...... A little help request. I would like to realize the following strat circuit.
1MASTER VOLUME+ 1 MASTER TONE (on first tone pot) + 1 autosplit (using the 2nd tone pot control). On the second tone, I would like to autosplit the JB humbucker very gradually, so softly passing through a true single coil sound , to the full humbucker sound , gradually, just simply rotating from minimum (1 only JB bobbin) to maximum (full HB )pot control. This circuit already exists , I noticed on some famous top guitarists STRATS IN Hss configuration. Please, can anyone help me to find the right schematic diagram of the circuit? Thank u in advance.

Thats not called autosplit. Dial in or spin a split or blender.
Works great, btw. There is an option using the cap with this tone pot. With Split on 10, full humbucker on 8 and gradually more tone pot on 7 and lower. I think it was invented by Bill Lawrence.

Thank u dear! Can u link me the exact schematic diagram? If u own it, of course!

Its the standard wiring schematic which comes in the BL pickup box. Scroll down here and read the text in the schematic. "For the splitcoil wiring...."

Sorry , I can’t find it......

Scroll down, black&white drawing with the title "Standard wiring L500XL" and read the text in that box.

I don't think that's what the OP was originally asking for. He's already got a master tone control so this second tone pot could be used as "spin-a-split" only. Plus it allows a more gradual transition from single coil to full bucker through the full range of the tone pot instead of just from 8 - 10.

I told him the exact thing in post #2 and said that the BL schematic would be another option.
