Basic Guitar Electronics XIX - Twelve ways to connect the tone control
zhlédnutí 4,3KPřed 10 lety
Some elaboration about quite a number of ways a tone control can be connected, all doing basically the same thing. It turns out that it does matter where the tone control is placed; it is know as the difference between 50's wiring and modern wiring. Check it out here: czcams.com/video/uRUobVmNKko/video.html

Thank you for this! Helped explain where countless articles failed
Thank you
Thank you Is it matter the order of connecting the volume and tone pots?
No, not in the way I show it here. They are in parallel and it doesn't matter which is on the 'left' or on the 'right'. You could connect the tone pot to the swiper of the volume pot (the middle lug, that would be the reverse order); maybe there could be a difference then, but only when you start rolling them down. To be honest, I've never tried that.
I wonder if an additional coil split is possible with this swtich. I “wonder” because my brain’s just sending me “error” and “overload” messages even just trying to think about that wiring.
Not easily, the way I see it. But you could use a push/pull pot or an extra mini switch to connect W and Z to ground. That would turn the bridge pickup in a single coil in postition 1, both pickups in position 3 (same as 2 then) and the neck pickup in position 5. Don't sue me if I made a mistake here 😉 It would be relatively easy to try though.
@@aaronstonebeat Awesome! Thank you so much for saving me from frying my brain cells :D I will definitely give it a try!
Love it how the older YT videos answer my questions. Thanks for being informative!
I took a physics electromagnetics class back in 1984 and never understood the stuff because it was so theoretical. It would have been nice if the teacher had knowledge of some practical uses for the stuff , but I only see the practical uses thanks to youtube. I don't understand how a tool and die maker knew you could amplify the noise using that setup back in the 1930s. crazy!
And here we are, 12 years later, …AND your video is still curing headaches. Thanks so much man!
Thank you for this video I think I get it now
why reversing the magnet on that coil reverses only the sound but not the noise?
The noise is independent of the magnetic field in the pickup; it is canceled because the coils are connected out of phase. To produce a signal from the metal strings, the coils need a magnetic field. If the coils are only connected out of phase, they would be out of phase for the string signal too; by reversing the polarity in one coil, they are in phase relative to the string signal. I just had a long conversation with RamPamParam about exactly the same thing. And the answer is in the video 😉
@@aaronstonebeat thankyou
Ik blijf ernaar luisteren. Steeds weer. Schitterende song. En Luc De Vos die je doordringend aankijkt. Manmanman.
Hey Marc!!! Thank you so much for this super thorough, insightful and interesting explanation!!!!! I'm actually having a hard time understanding something you never mentioned in this explanation which I believe might have some significance, and was wondering whether you might have some knowledge about: I learned that in humbucking pickups, a big magnet is placed between the two coils in addition to the six magnets each one of the coils has. Do you know why that is? does it play a factor in reversing the current in some way? Thanks in advance!
Many well known humbuckers indeed have a bar magnet underneath, between the pole pieces. In this case the pole pieces are not magnets but merely ferromagnetic material. The pole pieces are magnetized by the magnet. I'm not entirely sure why this is done. It is very well possible to use magnetic pole pieces, like in many single coil pickups (In fact, in most single coil guitars, when two pickups are selected, they are humbucking; because of the reversed polarity and connection of the pickups). The bar magnet has nothing to do with reversing the current in one of the coils.
@@aaronstonebeat Thanks for the response! Very appreciated. Not entirely sure what you mean by "when two pickups are selected, they are humbucking; because of the reversed polarity and connection of the pickups". Wouldn't one of the coils need to have a set of magnets with an opposing polarity in order to produce this kind of humbucking effect?
@@RamPamParam Yes, you are correct in that the pole pieces need to be reversed polarity in the two coils. But they already are because the bar magnet is polarized lengthwise; one row of pole pieces touches the north pole, the other row touches the south pole. So each row of pole pieces becomes an extension of the pole they touch. Basically the rows of ferromagnetic pole pieces and the bar magnet together form a U-shaped magnet.
In a standard telecaster for instance, when both pickups are on they are humbucking. One pickup has north up magnets, the other one has south up magnets; and they are reverse wound (or reverse connected if they are wound in the same direction; the effect is the same).
@@aaronstonebeat Also, correct me if I'm off, but if the magnet bar is the only actual magnet in the pickup, it would mean that each set of ferromagnetic poles would be oppositely charged (6 poles positively and the other 6 negatively). So how would this affect the explanation in your video where both sets of ferromagnetic poles are referred to as individual magnets?
Na zovelen jaren nog even mooi…
There are no ground loops in guitar wiring!!!
every time I come across a guitar wiring video, it amazes me how most of the time the cons are omitted, as if there are none or they're negligible. Everything has pros & cons, we have to make compromises. For this specific wiring, yes, we do get some separation between the 2 pickups when both are selected, but what isn't mentioned is the fact that there's now a constant resistance between the input of whatever device the guitar is plugged into and ground, which could mean random noise/hum. no matter how quiet/shielded/grounded your rig is! Of course for some it will be negligible compared to the pros of the circuit, or it wouldn't be noticeable to others. Point is if someone without wiring knowledge sees this video it could mislead him to think that this circuit is superior to others, that the design is flawless. When we consider a change to a system, we must take into account all that will be affected, good and bad (sometimes subjective).
i love your guitars espescialy this one the tone is super ! i wish i could buy it from you
I know it’s twelve years ago that this was uploaded but thank you so much. Clear and concise explanation 👍
As a string moves back and forth over its pole screw it seems the response in the coil would be the same as it moves off center in either direction. Would this not produce a 2nd harmonic? There must be a gradient in the magnetic field to get the fundamental response.
That is probably a great question and on one hand I'm not sure how to answer it while on the other I'm sure you're right. But then the whole series of harmonics is present in the vibrating string to begin with so it will also be in the vibrating magnetic field.

I listen to RG 320 FM. I have correctly wired all of the neck and bridge pickups. However, when I connect the X point of the selector to the ground, the 4th position of the selector is muted and does not work. Point 4 of the selector works when I remove X wear from the ground.
That is interesting. Are you certain the switch works as it is supposed to?
@@aaronstonebeat Of course I added a new selector..
@@apianik I'll go through my schematic again when I have time but I'm quite certain it is correct; that is based on the research and thought I put in before making this video and the reactions to it so far.
Man man man. Deze song staat nog steeds als een huis. Als ik Luc de Vos zag passeren kreeg ik toch weer een flinke krop in de keel. 🎸🎸❤❤❤❤
Great video. When you talk about it being done slightly differently and the effect on the taper of the tone control what do you expect the difference to be? More gradual or more sudden?
EXCELLENT VIDEO I am thinking of replacing the single coil pickup in my bass with a humbucking hotrails pickup. Are the base magnets in the humbucking pickup already reversed? To get the maximum lower bass sound, should I wire the humbucker coils in series? Should I feed the first coil on the left ..... and then take the exiting wire and feed the second coil on its right side? Thanks
Thanks! 1) Yes, the magnets/pole pieces are reversed polarity; it wouldn't be a humbucking pickup otherwise. 2) By wiring pickups in series the output will be higher compared to wiring in parallel. In guitars this is most noticeable in the midrange of the sound. Some experimenting might be wise. 3) Which wires should be connected to each other depends on the construction of the pickups and de colour code used. Again, some experimenting might be a good thing; if you get it wrong, the pickups will be out of phase and not much bass tone will be left.
The perfect video for my research

Hi there. I have ibanez Quantum pickups from an Ibanez RG6003fm, and the wire colors are the same. However, the switch was wired completely differently. I can send you a photo if it helps how it was wired. Its a 2502N cortel 5 way, but i bought it used from someone and I'm not sure if they tried to wire it. Should your diagram be safe to follow? Appreciate any advice! New to this whole humbucker soldering stuff and of course my first attempt is with this one off 5 way switch 😅 Thank you!!
I'm quite certain my schematic is correct, several people have used it succesfully. If it was wired differently the guitar must have behaved differently.
@@aaronstonebeat I think it did. I will redraw over your schematic how it was wired based on my photos and message you when it's done. If it's possible just looking at the schematic can you tell me how it behaved? I'm so curious what was going on. Lol I'm excited because I'm resoldering my guitar today!! This is the most helpful video
@@ahendowski If I have the schematic I should be able to deduce it. Thanks and good luck!
Unfortunately CZcams is removing my comment with the link to the schematic. Is there anyway I can email you or message you somehow like on Facebook so I can send you the picture? I've tried posting the comment two times and it's getting removed
@@ahendowski Sure, mail it to marcrvanoppen@gmail.com
A real gem
Van het allerbeste van Belgische bodem..
Brilliant tutorial, easy to understand and just what I needed. Many thanks!!
A fantastic explanation of the actual *science* behind how and why humbuckers work. I don't think I really appreciated the true genius and beauty of this invention until now. Thank you, Mr. Stonebeat. I recommend playing czcams.com/video/wE2GZ2Vpqjo/video.htmlsi=d3w-GouFtjmcpNno in the background at the same for the full mind-blowing experience. Turn on, tune in, nerd out.

Ordinary world van Duran duran meets Airport van The motors: wel een mooie song
Who's doing the hoovering 😢
I remember singers getting big shocks from their microphones when the PA system or amp wasn’t wired properly or was plugged in wrong. (That’s why these devices have 3 prong plugs now).
Yes, rock 'n roll is truly dangerous 😉 Well, actually high voltages and currents are. Keith Richards got badly electrocuted on stage a long time ago, but of course he survived.
Thanks for this very practical explanation.
love it !!!
what kind of switch are you using? The schaller megaswitches have several variations (s,t,m,e,p) and as far as I can tell no one else makes megaswitches
Something like for instance a Fender 5-way Super Switch.
thanks!@@aaronstonebeat
best explanation i could find
what colour for hot neck man? tks for respond🎉
If it's the original Ibanez pickup I'd say it's blue. If it's another brand, it depends; different brands have different colour codings for the wires.
hi, im pretty much a novice when comes to wiring and soldering. i followed your advice and refollowed to make sure i connected everything as you said. so i solder all the wires in place, all strong bonds. put guitar cable in and great position 1 works great.. 3 and 5 work great.. 2 and 4... nothing, no sound whatsover. so again i rewatched to make sure every wire was in correct position... yup all good. i did notice that there was a lot of solder under the pins with look theyre touching the chassy of the switch, would this cause the problems with 2nd and 4th position. great video btw!!
Yes, if something is grounded when it shouldn't be, it won't work. Also: are you sure you are using the correct switch? Lastly: thank you!
@@aaronstonebeat all I can say is, it has same number on the side 2505n.
@@daveelson213 That should be alright then.
How are you doing? Any chance to see new videos?
I'm doing alright; thank you for asking! I don't know about new videos; it's been over a decade since I made them. I'll think about it.
@@aaronstonebeat thanks for your reply, it’s nice to hear from you. I have learned a lot from your brilliant series. Wish you all the best!
