hello! need some assistance...

[jsullysix]

hello all, i need assistance with a wiring diagram that's not on the duncan site. i hope someone can help.

i've got 2 seth lover pickups that need to be wired with a vol/tone/3 way mini switch (instead of a gibson style toggle). i've not been too successful finding a diagram for this. can anyone help?

thanks,
sully

Re: hello! need some assistance...

welcome to the forum

you'll need a specific kind of 3 way mini switch called an "on-on-on / DP3T" ...

this assumes that you are expecting the switching to be "neck only / both (parallel) / bridge only" just like a standard LP style switch?

cheers,

correct, sir. that is the switch that i have, and yes, i'm looking for that neck/both/bridge setup.

thanks!

Re: hello! need some assistance...

you can use the volume and tone circuitry from a standard H-H schematic ... 500K audio taper pots ... 0.047 uF cap ...

(ignore the red/white wires - seths won't have them)

this help?

Re: hello! need some assistance...

yeah, but how do i integrate the switch? (the link in your second post was the same as the first one. did i miss somethin?)

Re: hello! need some assistance...

i fixed the link, sorry

i thought you had the switch already, sorry ... do you have a switch operation data sheet for the switch you have? .. it should let you know how to do it .... without seeing exactly what you have, i cant tell how to wire it in ... it should be straightforward ... hot wire in from each pup and then a single output wire from the switch to the volume pot

let us know if you can get there from here ... others mightbe along to help out too

cheers

Re: hello! need some assistance...

i am going to go out on a limb here and guess about the on-on-on switch you have ... double check me with an ohm-meter before you hook it up

Bb = Black wire from bridge
Bn = Black wire from neck

Op = output wire to volume pot



Bb====>[]---[]

Op<====[]---[]

Bn====>[]---[]

yes, those are yellow jumper wires you need to solder between the rows of terminals on the switch

clear as mud?

Hey T4D, I see you have this under control, but just to make things easier . . .those are the same type of switches my Peavey's use. Rather than worry about which terminals, Peavey, (and me), just use both top terminals, both bottoms and both middles.

Re: hello! need some assistance...

thanks artie ... much better with yours than with my "ascii art" ... and yeah, just doing both is better

cheers
