I have a schecter blackjack that comes with wiring like this:
schecter_blackjacks.pdf
I almost never take the tone off of "10" and was thinking I'd like it better with vol-vol. I found some good info on the switch here (scroll down to the pics):
showthread.php?t=150984&highlight=megaswitch
I don't really want to go through buying replacement switches, etc., but if there's a quick way to rewire the existing hardware I'd like to try it.
If I hook up the pots on the black wires of each pup before the switch then:
Pos 1 and Pos 5 look like they would be fine.
Pos 3 looks mostly fine with vol controlled by neck pot, except now there is the 500k pot hanging off of the unused half of the neck pup. Is this OK?
Pos 2 and Pos 4 will be weird, one pickup will have a normal volume pot connection, bu the other will be connected to the pot wiper and get shorted to ground at zero volume. So it looks like I will get volume control, but will this cause any strange behavior?
Any better ideas on how to wire this up?
Thanks,
Dave
