Re: Please, post a picture of a Spin-A-Split circuit
This is probably the one you have, but it's the only one I know of. (Except my own.)
spin-a-split
For two HB'ers, you'd need two pots or one dual-pot. You can't split two HB'ers with one pot.

Re: Please, post a picture of a Spin-A-Split circuit
For somebody that knows what he's doing, it shouldn't be that hard. As I unfortunately don't belong to that category, I need some help.
It's a '50s modded 2 HB w/Master Vol and Master Tone, just adding the Spin-A-Split mod to the neck p'up only.
Would you give it a go, Artie?
No pressure. Just when you feel like it... pretty please...? :cool2:
I know, that's why I'm specifying the Spin-A-Split on the NECK P'UP ONLY. Plus, I need the tone control.

Re: Please, post a picture of a Spin-A-Split circuit
That's the one I use. I've put wired a lot of my neck HB's that way. Only takes a couple minutes, and no parts, to do it.
For single lead HB's, I came up with a short cut, so they don't have to be rewired for 4 lead. I connect a solitary wire to the solder point connecting the two coils together and run it thru the guitar to the spin-a-split pot; that's your red and white wires, they're just combined.

No prob man . . . but, I'm working a 72-hour week 'til the end of the month. If there's no rush, I can cover it.

You say your guitar is master vol/master tone, that's two pots, but you want to add a spin a split while keeping the tone control, so that would mean adding a third pot?

Re: Please, post a picture of a Spin-A-Split circuit
Actually, Peavey did exactly this with their old T-60. That is, combined the tone control with the spin-a-split.
Gimme a sec, I'll try to find the diagram.
Edit: Ok, here it is. You have to look at this closely:
As you roll the tone back, you simultaneously, split the the pup. It worked, they say, but I've never actually heard one. YMMV.
Edit-2: Note also, you're seeing one vol/tone/pup of a 2-pup guitar. That's why it uses the "50's" wiring on the volume pot.

That was my first thought when I saw this circuit. Film at eleven.

FWIW - this is my take on it. Someone else can check me.

Re: Please, post a picture of a Spin-A-Split circuit
So, in my case, adding the spin-a-split is doing something useful with one of the pots. And yes, I do too think that the first pot value to try to do this is the 1 MB.
I need to get the diagram right, as it'll be going in a semi-hollow and we all know how FUN those are to install harnesses, don't we? *sigh*
Well... as I haven't explained: all my 2 HB guitars with four pots are wired '50s modded Master Volume and Master tone; the other two are just there for cosmetic purposes only.

I guess you wanted just '50s tone mod here.

Re: Please, post a picture of a Spin-A-Split circuit
I would probably go with 1 MOhm pot and a 0.015 mf (15 nF, 15000 pF, 15K EU, 153 USA) cap for neck pickup.
As you roll in the tone, you split and darken the tone. Probably ok during first dial positions but, can it be too much at final split positions?. And, you will be never able to achieve an open split position.
Anyhow, interesting idea.
Did you think on the possibility of doing this with an stacked pot?.

Re: Please, post a picture of a Spin-A-Split circuit
Artie, in that diagram you posted, the bridge pup totally bypasses the vol and tone controls. I thought Pepe wanted a master vol and tone.
If Pepe already has an "extra" vol and tone pot available that he's not using, just use the diagram submitted by Beaubrummels and use one of the extra pots for the split. That's the wiring I've used on my Spin-A-Splits and it works perfectly.

Re: Please, post a picture of a Spin-A-Split circuit
Doc, I think Artie is just pasting a picture corresponding to a part of a diagram of an old guitar, just to illustrate how the spin-a-split with tone was implemented in such a guitar.
That diagram doesn't corresponds to what LtKojak was asking for. Only the spin-a-split with tone thing is for "re-usabilty".

Exactly.
But I think Beaubrummels diagram does what he needs perfectly.

Re: Please, post a picture of a Spin-A-Split circuit
Well, maybe I've understood it wrong but, I had the impression that LtKojak has just TWO pots, master volumen and master tone and, he was to implement the spin-a-Split in that master tone. No additional pots.
Well, at least he can do one or the other. :jester:
