    Wiring pups sans pots ?

    A guy asked on another forum if it's ok to wire a guitar without pots ? Not sure why, but he has no replies. So, am I correct to assume doing so would be the same as if the guitar has no-load pots set at no-load position ? Or does the tone cap come into play ?

    Help Me Grasp The Volume Pedal Thing

    Hi jucas, The no load pots seem the best choice if a vp is sitting idle. Sort of like true bypass. Good points about the cons of 2 vp's, but then you give up the option of a passive signal to the amp.

    Help Me Grasp The Volume Pedal Thing

    Before I set a board up............ Ok, so if I'm running a volume pedal first in a pedal chain with single coil passive pups on the instrument, I would use one with a 250K pot. If the volume pedal is placed after any pedals, I would need a 25K pot. If I'm correct on both counts, then that 25K...
