I can't find the wiring for this pot. There was one on guitarelectronics.com, but it disappeared. Can you help me? Thanks!
How to wire a No-Load tone pot?

Re: How to wire a No-Load tone pot?
I already used it as a volume pot and it had to be wire different. So i thought i have to wire it also different than a tone pot.

For a tone pot, just wire it normally. At "10", there's no connection between the middle terminal (wiper) and the outside terminal, so there's no signal going to ground throught the tone cap at all.
I'm thinking that your volume pot application isn't a normal "no load" pot - how does it function?

Re: How to wire a No-Load tone pot?
I'm kinda curious also, I saw that on that site, but couldn't get the schematic to come up ... the only thing I can think of is using it as a variable load ... not as an actual voltage divider ... as a strict VL it's either a shunt to ground, or ups the seires resistance to the signal. Unless they are using a different type of no-load pot (I have a picture of Fender's 250k-A No-Load pot in my head), or are doing someting else (can't picture what at the moment). Can't you describe it, or post a schematic. That's not a commercial site is it? Or is it? Can't really remember which site, but i know I saw that option somewhere.
