Hello nation, can any one tell me how to wire 2 piezo's in parallel? I want to use a pot,2 piezo's and a jack. Also ,another way I was thinking of is using 2 vol. pots. Is this a good idea?  What do you think?Thanks .

Hello

I usually solder the two black wires from the piezos together then solder them to the sleeve or ground connector on the jack socket. I solder the live red wires from the piezo together and then solder them to the input on pot as shownThe output needs a wire to the remaining signal connection on the jack. Finally I connect all the earth or ground connections up to stop humming. So the no 1 tab on the pot is connected to the case of the pot (as shown) and a connection from the pot case is made to the sleeve or ground connection on the jack.

Hope that helps

As for two Do you mean a tone knob as well?
