push/pull wiring

[scooter]

Hi Guys. I have a question regarding the following wiring diagram.

I think that the push/pull pot will tap the coils of both humbuckers. However, when the 3-way is in position 2 and the coils are split the signal is not hum cancelling. To get a hum cancelling configuration for position 2 would I just switch the green and black wires on the neck pup for example?

No, becuase then the pup would be out-of-phase. You have to do this:

Flip the magnet on the neck pup. Then connect the neck pup like this:

White to hot output.
Black and green together and on to the push-pull.
Red to ground.

Now, when you ground the black/green wire you'll have the stud coil, and it will be in-phase and noise cancelling with the bridge stud coil.

Thanks Artie. This isn't the case though if I were to use 2 on/on mini toggles to split each bucker independently though is it? I'm asking because I put a CC/AP2 combo in my Carvin SC90 and wired it, after translating the wire color, as shown for the KIT40 DC127 schematic shown here:

Thanks again.

Thanks again.

Using individual switches is irrelevant. It just means you have two handles instead of one. If you wire like I said, and flip the mag, you'll still get the two stud coils, in-phase, and noise cancelling. (When both are split.)

If you have one pup split and the other full on, you'll get some noise cancelling, but it might not be complete.
