Hello Seymour Duncan User Group Forum!
Been round here a good few times reading helpful threads, now I have a request...
Problem A-
I've got a Strat with a P90 in the bridge, and singles in the neck and middle.
Standard Fender 5 way.
The P90 loves to see 500k ohms load.
The singles sound good to me with 300k ohms.
So 500k pot, 750k resistor in parallel on the singles right?
But wait, here comes
Problem B-
I've got a passive mid-range filter thingy. Its a Villex, same unit that Tom Anderson uses in some of his Strats. Villex calls it a mid-range booster, but please I do not want to hear how "passive cannot boost by definition."
Stay focused on the diagram...the diagram...the diagram...you want to make me a diagram...
According to the manufacturer, it works best when it's the last thing before the output jack; it wants to see a 1M ohm load on it's output side.
HOWEVER! I only want the neck and/or middle single coils to go through the mid-range filter circuitry, the P90 has to show up after the Villex has done it's thing.
So, 2 volume pots (500k and 300k), hot from the 500k pot hooks into the bypass section of the dpdt that switches the Villex in and out? Hot and ground from 300k pot go into the Villex as per normal ("from volume pot")?
Finally, given the above, can I have a TBX Tone control acting as a master tone?
Please no concentric knobs. All I want to see on the front of the guitar are the 5 way, 3 standard Strat knobs and one or two mini toggles.
Can it be done, and can it be represented as a wiring diagram? (The Diagram! Give him the Diagram!)
What about if I say please?
