I want to wire two piezos on a cbg. I want to put the piezos in different places and use a toggle switch to change the sound. Can anyone help with a diagram please? I have no volume pot just 2 piezos and the toggle switch. Thank you

On a Gibson style switch, there are 4 connections on one side and 1 connection on the other.
From each piezo, hot wire into an end connection on the side with 4 connections. Hot wire out ganged to the two middle connections on the same side.
Ground goes to the single lug on the other side ... So on that side there will be two wires from the brass on the piezo disks and a wire to the ground lug of the jack all connecting to the one lug.
Google wiring a three way switch or Gibsonmstyle switch for guitar.
One way to do it would be to add two volume pots, one for each piezo. This would avoid a switch as you could turn down to off either of the piezos or run them together and balance the volume. .... Switches are not hard to wire. I have books full of diagrams, but i'm sure you'll get help here with good information. Ted Crocker has helped me with clear diagrams of such and the Music Factory (great book) has clear diagrams.
