Liberator wiring question

[Mikelamury]

Is it possible to run a humbucker in parallel mode with a SD liberator by switching some of the wires? Any info here would be greatly appreciated.

Absolutely. The Liberator doesn't change anything. It simply converts solder to screws.

Maybe, I'm not understanding your question.

Edit: The Liberator has 10 wires. Black, White, red and green, plus bare grounds. (For two humbuckers.) Wire them up in any configuration you want. Series, parallel, split, push-pulls . . . whatever. Then, when you attach the pickup wires, with a screwdriver, they become whatever you wired up the wires.

Does that make sense?

You can, but it will be in parallel as long as it's hooked up to the liberator that way. The liberator doesn't provide any switching, just convenience for wiring a pickup without soldering.

Thanks for the response, my question was not worded properly, I was trying to ask which wires I would swap on the screw in terminal to put a pickup in parallel mode? I'm aware I won't be able to switch it back to series. If you could please tell me which wires to swap on the screw in terminal that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

There's two different ways to do it, depending on what's more convenient for you. On the pup itself, twist black and red together and insert them into the "black" hole. (Red arrow.) Twist white and green together and insert them into the "green" hole. (Green arrow.) It wont matter what you do with the Liberators red and white wires because they aren't connected to the pickup.

Alternatively, connect all the pickup wires to the Liberator as normal. Then connect the Liberators black and red wires together as your output, and then green and white together to ground.

So, in other words, it only matters that black and red connect together, and white and green connect together. It doesn't matter if you do it on the pup or the Liberator.
