hotrails

Re: hotrails

Its all a matter of taste. I prefer a 250k for my humbuckers, but traditionally, 500's would be used. Since you already have the 250 in there, I'd wire it up with that and see how you like it. You can always change to a 500k later.

Also, I can show you a neat trick to make the volume control 500k only when the Hot Rails is selected by itself.

Re: hotrails

Like this:

Now, you'll only have a 500k when the Hot Rails is selected by itself.
In every other position, the pups "see" a 250k pot. ;)

btw - I threw that together real quick. It only shows one tone control, connected like the 50's mod.
