Wiring Help

[unclesteve]

Have a pair of STKT1n and STKT3b AND a Noiseless Strat pickup installed on a Tele with a Superswitch. Switched set up to elumate Nashville Tele (1, 1/2, 1/3, 2/3, 3) SM's wired for humbucking (R&W together) and it all worked fine. Changed a noisy tone POT, thought I put all the wiring back correctly, but now the STK1 has a very thin sound unless I connect the W, which eliminates the HB'ing. Have tried EVERY other conceivable connection. I removed the Superswitch, made sure of my connections, and still cannot get the old sound back. And yes, I reversed the green/black neg/pos to eliminate an out of phase state.

Learned one lesson, if it ain't broke..........

Would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks,

Steve

Re: Wiring Help

welcome to the board

well, you clearly know what you're doing under the hood, as you've tried all the obvious stuff

i think i understand your shorthand notation and it's the neck pickup that is troublesome, right? ... have you tried wiring the neck pup straight to the output jack to see if it is still functioning properly all by itself ? ... solder and insulate Red+White ... green to sleeve, black to tip, bare to ground .. see what that does .. it might give you a hint if the pup is somehow hosed .. the only other thing that comes to mind is a dodgy ground (cold solder joint maybe?)

let us know

good luck

Re: Wiring Help

td4, good suggestions. I'll try them. Didn't think that the pup could be hosed. How the heck does that happen? huh thanks!

Yes but did you put the retro capacitance circuit in a phase inducting loop with a cross resistive butterworth filter ?
Try it and see.
