I'm here every few weeks looking for some kind of, er, support?, fix?, reassurance! Always a great way of wasting, er, spending time!

Hi Mr Numpty But there will be no setting of the tone knob where the volume control acts without affecting the tone so much that a tone knob adjustment is necessary. I use this scheme in most of my instruments. All my pots are 500k audio.I find that with the tone set at 7 or 8, volume adjustments are tonally very consistent - as if a nice "treble bleed" were present. With tone above 7 or 8 reducing volume acts as a bass cut, and when tone is below 7, treble is cut in the normal manner. I find this incredibly efficient.

Id suggest to move the blue wire on the fader to the other end of the 47nF cap. Eureka! That fixed it, thanks so much! The "fattening" effect I described is still there, which is nice, but it's only really noticeable when vol < max. I love how this works! Fantastic design, John!

I've just noticed something else odd - when in positions 1 or 5, irrespective of S or P mode, the top end of the tone control (and the series fader) fatten up the sound of N or B. It's not an unpleasant effect, but I'd rather have the designed functionality. Hmmm, I will recheck all connections in the morning…

Hello John, thanks for you reply. I know from your descriptions what should happen, but in my build, turning down the series fader pot simply acts like turning up the top end of the tone pot. Looking at the wiring diagram leaves me wondering how the volume control part of the series fader would work - nothing is shunted to ground in the way that the series fader is connected. Do I have the wrong wiring diagram? all the best to you, John Attachments:

I finally got around to installing this terrific wiring in my PRS SE EG. Everything works as expected, and I love the sounds, but the series fade does nothing except act as another potentiometer for the 47 capacitor in series mode. Looking at the diagram, it seems that this is what it would do, so I am confused about how the series fader is actually supposed to work. If you can enlighten me, I would be so grateful, as I miss my middle pick up on its own!
