Need fun wiring ideas !!!

[NiKo Zed]

Hi everyone ! how're you doin' ? Good ? Nice. I'm good too, thank you.

Such a wonderful day, huh ? Yeah, enough ****ty talking, let's get real !

I have this wonderful Epiphone Les Paul Custom :

(I'm not a Zakk Wylde fanboy, I just have a crazy deal on a good guitar)

And I change the wiring (change PU'ps, and a custom wiring scheme) and I'm left with my bridge tone unused... And I don't like that !
That's why I'm here to ask you, wise people, what kind of fun thing I can add to my guitar using only 1 pot ? And no coil splitting/serie-parallel/reversal phase kind of stuff please, I already have that

I already thought of a blower switch or a built-in wah, I have a wiring scheme for the blower but not for the wah, so if you have a passive wah wiring, feel free to leave it here !

Cheers lovely people from the interweb !

NiKo out

What are you using the other three knobs for?

 

[NiKo Zed]

Re: Need fun wiring ideas !!!

Volume / Tone for the neck and volume for the bridge

You could use some Schottky diodes and wire up a passive distortion circuit on the spare knob.

Re: Need fun wiring ideas !!!

Do you have any wiring scheme ?

I have a volume per PUp so I just have to turn off the neck and play with the selector switch to have a kill switch...
@guitarStv thanks !

@guitarStv thanks !

Yeah, but Buckethead's is a little bit cooler than the average killswitch IMO:

How about a rotary switch to select different tone caps.

Re: Need fun wiring ideas !!!

I don't use a tone at all... I've disconnet it to have more treble

Treble (bass attenuation) knob

Re: Need fun wiring ideas !!!

not exactly ideal for the bridge pickup, how about spin-a-split

Re: Need fun wiring ideas !!!

Ok, how about a spin-a-split for the neck pickup?

I saw your post just as I put mine up and went "Oops". But yeah, in a neck pickup, it can give quite a bit of tonal range.

Re: Need fun wiring ideas !!!

That's what I have already on the neck tone pots
and InbredJunk I mean more presence

For th emoment I hesitate between a blower switch, a master bass cut and a home made black ice

Re: Need fun wiring ideas !!!

Or a Tone I can activate with a push/pull ala Chris Broderick...
