Extremely basic wiring - is the image correct?

Posted by tdq on October 7, 2013 at 7:19pm

Hi all,

I was wondering if the group's title page image does in fact show the correct wiring for a single jack/piezo/volume control setup. I attempted to wire up one using that diagram and it didn't work - now it's highly likely that I just did a bad soldering job as I have very little experience in that department - but just wanted to check that the diagram was in fact correct. If not, can someone point me in the right direction? I have wired a piezo/jack successfully previously and wanted to go one step further by adding a volume control.

Thanks, Tim.

    I'd feel pretty dumb if I posted an incorrect image as the title image of the CBG wiring and electronics group.

      I assumed so, but just because it's on the internet doesn't mean it's true! Really just looking to confirm my ineptitude :)

    In the past week I used the diagram to wire a mag pup with volume and single jack and it worked fine. Check your connections it may be the soldering.  Marcus

      Thanks for the quick reply! I thought as much but wanted to make sure. Cheers.
