# Two humbuckers with a three-way toggle and a push/pull split volume Canonical page: https://guitarwiring.app/wiring-diagrams/tonerider/two-humbuckers-three-way-toggle-push-pull-split-volume Two humbuckers · Three-way toggle · Push/pull volume · No tone Tonerider's 2 Humbucker, 1 Volume (Push-Pull) harness: neck and bridge four-conductor humbuckers on a three-way toggle with one 500kA push/pull volume and no tone. The push/pull grounds each pickup's black–white link, splitting both pickups at once. Drawing: https://guitarwiring.app/wiring-diagrams/tonerider/two-humbuckers-three-way-toggle-push-pull-split-volume.svg (back of controls) ## Parts and values - Neck Pickup: Neck Pickup; generic (Humbucker (four-conductor, DiMarzio colours)) - Bridge Pickup: Bridge Pickup; generic (Humbucker (four-conductor, DiMarzio colours)) - 3-Way Toggle: 3-Way Toggle; compatible example (Switchcraft 3-Way Toggle) - Volume 500kA push/pull: Volume 500kA (push/pull); 500k; compatible example (500k Push-Pull DPDT) - Output Jack: Output Jack; compatible example (Switchcraft \#11) ## Specific to this wiring - Printed instruction: 'Solder Black and White wires together, and insulate with heat shrink or electrical tape.' On this sheet each pickup's joined black and white pair runs on to a middle-row lug of the push/pull switch: bridge on the left, neck on the right. - The two push/pull lugs nearest the pot each have a short link to the volume casing; the two lugs furthest from the pot stay empty. - Each pickup's red lead goes to an outer toggle lug (neck to the upper one, bridge to the lower one); the toggle's joined centre lugs run to the volume's input lug. - Each pickup's green lead and 'Bare Shield Wire' end on one solder spot on the volume casing. - The toggle's frame lug is drawn with a ground symbol. Here it is wired to the volume casing; that is a routing choice, not a solder point shown in the source. - No bridge ground wire is drawn on this sheet. - Pickup series printed on the sheet: all 4-conductor 'AC' and 'H' series humbuckers. - The source does not number the toggle positions; the lugs are mapped by what they do (neck, both, bridge). ## Connections 1. Neck green → Volume casing (case, green) 2. Neck bare → Volume casing (shield, bare): Bare Shield Wire. 3. Bridge green → Volume casing (case, green) 4. Bridge bare → Volume casing (shield, bare): Bare Shield Wire. 5. Toggle frame lug → Volume casing (case): The source draws a ground symbol at the frame; the route to the casing is a routing choice. 6. Push/pull left lug nearest the pot → Volume casing (case, black) 7. Push/pull right lug nearest the pot → Volume casing (case, black) 8. Volume right lug → Volume casing (case) 9. Volume casing → Jack sleeve (wire, black) 10. Neck red → Toggle upper outer lug (wire, red) 11. Bridge red → Toggle lower outer lug (wire, red) 12. Toggle centre lugs → Volume left lug (input) (wire): Drawn grey. 13. Neck black → Push/pull middle right lug (wire, black): Joined with the neck white. 14. Neck white → Push/pull middle right lug (wire, white): Shares the lug with the neck black. 15. Bridge black → Push/pull middle left lug (wire, black): Joined with the bridge white. 16. Bridge white → Push/pull middle left lug (wire, white): Shares the lug with the bridge black. 17. Volume middle lug → Jack tip (wire): Drawn grey. ## What each position does - Neck, knob down: full humbucker: Neck Pickup (both coils). - Neck + bridge, knob down: both humbuckers: Neck Pickup (both coils) and Bridge Pickup (both coils) in parallel. - Bridge, knob down: full humbucker: Bridge Pickup (both coils). - Neck, knob pulled: single coil: Neck Pickup (split to one coil). - Neck + bridge, knob pulled: both split: Neck Pickup (split to one coil) and Bridge Pickup (split to one coil) in parallel. - Bridge, knob pulled: single coil: Bridge Pickup (split to one coil). - Hum cancelling and phase describe the generic pickup models, not a measurement of any specific Tonerider model. - Pickup resistance is not specified, so no numeric meter readings are given. - The source does not say which knob position splits; this follows the usual push/pull behaviour (pulled joins the middle lugs to the lugs nearest the pot). ## Check before plugging in - Knob down: in each toggle position the meter across the jack reads the selected humbucker, or both in parallel in the middle. - Knob up: each reading drops to roughly one coil's resistance. - With the volume at zero, tip and sleeve should read as a short in every position. ## Source Tinkercaster's own drawing of the Tonerider diagram HH\_1V\_PP-100, revision 1.
