Silverbursted Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I have been playing my R7 (recently modified with Wolfetone Marshallheads) quite a bit lately and decided to show a little love to my R9 for a nice change of pace. So I pull her out of her case, tuner her up and start playing. I like to have by bridge volume turned up to 10 with the tone at around 7 and the neck volume set to around 2 or 3 with the tone set to 10. That way I can get a real nice clean in the neck for solos, plus when I select the middle position, I get a nice bright, slightly crunched sound. Well anyway with my pickup selector in the bridge or neck position, everything sounded as I would expect, but when I selected the middle position, it sounded off. So I played around with the volumes and pickup selector and found that if the volume of either the neck or bridge is at 0, I get nothing. But if I turn the volume up a little bit, the middle position takes on the normal characteristic. Is this something I missed before and is normal, or do I have a problem with my wiring?

charlie brown Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Neck And/Or Bridge pickup volume has to be "on" (to some degree) when the switch is in the middle. It then blends, to the bridge and/or neck pickups, as whichever volume control is increased. At least, that's the way ALL my LP's are wired.

Silverbursted Posted December 29, 2009 Author Share Posted December 29, 2009 Thats what I thought, I guess I came across this accidentally, because I don't normally have one or the other volume at 0. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thundergod Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Completely normal man... you just didn't notice before, as you said, you normally don't have one of them at 0... and most people don't have it at 0 while using both pickups. But, some people use that as means of a killswitch... tho it can kill the switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
