ctguy,

I see an error in that drawing. The Model E switch is an odd bird. Terminal 6 is connected to Terminal 3 in position 3 and to Terminal 4 in position 2. Terminal 3 is the output, Terminal 4 is normally ground. It's intended to be used for a 4 conductor bridge humbucker & it swaps the split (inside or outside coil) in positions 2 & 3. If you are wiring it for single coils - which is essentially what you are doing here - you can't ground terminal 4 or you will short the bridge pup to ground in position 2.

If you look at Eyb's instructions for the E model, you'll see that they leave terminal 4 open when the bridge pup is connected to both Terminals 6 & 7 with 3 single coils. I guess they are assuming that people know to ground all the pup wires in that scenario.

What pot did you get for the blender?

Can you blame them for going away? Using two different wiring diagrams, and deviating from both with unknown changes, using different parts than shown in the diagrams, just adds to the confusion. You can accomplish the split coil and blender with much less wiring and components than you have now. I agree with the previous posts, it is unclear exactly what you want, or even if it can work with the components that you have. If it were me helping, I would need to have the pick guard in front of me and use a meter to see what in the heck is actually going on in that mess of wiring. IMO you have a case of over-engineering for starters (like the circuit board and terminal strips on the back of the volume pot). And, there is no circuit diagram of the volume pot connections, so who knows what is going on there.

As an example of too much, the four green wires with wire nut that are coming from the terminal strip, should be replaced with small jumpers at the terminal strip. Neat, electrically better, no added clutter. Actually, I would ditch the "liberator" altogether, unless you plan on changing your pup every other day.

:lol: That's all that I meant, showing two different diagrams added to the confusion. Kind of like "pay no attention to that man behind the curtain" - Wizard of OZ. No biggie, sounds like it is being sorted out here.

I found the blender, its a stewmac........... 500 k one

They even give you a diagram on their website !!!!!

What the heck IS that gizmo under the volume knob in this diagram? And what does it have to do with the OP's stated output requirements?

And seriously, Andy: ignoring the switches and pots already purchased, why don't you show us how you'd achieve the requested sound options, no doubt using much simpler hardware?

BTW: I'm disappointed in Andy too. I firmly believed he could make the whole thing happen with just an elastic band and a toothpick. And I still do!

And then a cure for world poverty, please, oh Hairy One.

How big are the screw terminal holes on the Liberator? Can you get 2 pickups wires in one hole?

Will the braided shield wire on your Bridge pup fit into one of the screw terminal holes on the Liberator?

With that Megaswitch, you can't ground terminal 4 with this brigdge pup anyway, so i would like to wire this up so that the bridge pup wires are connected to the Liberator. You'll still have to make a change or 2 down the road, but it makes more sense to me to do some of the future wiring now, if possible.
