Volume and Tone with just one pot?

i posted this circuit in another thread
but i think that could be useful to other people as well
so here it is!

it's a simple circuit that allow you to tweak a little bit more from your axe
if you're stuck in having just one pot



it uses a push pull so that

when in pushed state:
you have a regular volume pot
wothout tone circuit at all, so you have a brighter tone than your standard
wiring that put tone pot in parallel with volume pot

and when you pull it out:
your pickups see the impedance of a volume pot full up on 10 ( the 500K res )
and your volume pot became a tone pot

so if you have to play with your volume you can
and
if you wanna play with your tone to try some mellow part
NOW YOU CAN TOO

it's nice to notice that
if you put volume to zero in this configuration
an THEN
you pull it out
you have full volume with tone rolled down

maybe this could be used for killswitch too!


and if you like to play with components value you could refine this circuit
to better suit your taste

I.E. if you use a 1meg resistor instead a 500kohm
when you engage the "tone mode" the pickups see an higher impedance
thus giving a brighter sound and more range for tonal exloration!


hope you like that!

"Because as everyone knows, tone is directly proportional to the amount of blinky lights that you have in your rack!"
