After I rewind the p'up some day, I'll probably replace the patented Peavey tone circuits with traditional tone circuits, using push-pull tone pots for coil cut. I have an old T-60 with a broken neck pickup. * The T60 tone circuit may have been useful in its day because push-pull pots were rare or non-existent it removed 2 coil-tapping mini-toggles from the pickguard. If you can provide a clear description of what you want to do, I'm sure someone can point you to a schematic. What do you want to do with Pot #1, P-P Switch #1, Pot #2, and P-P Switch #2? What functions do you want to control with each pot and its associated switch?Īs an example, here are the original T-60 control functions: I don't understand how you want to use the 2 push-pull pots. You are right- Peavey used 250K audio taper pots for volume (CTS 75065004) and 250K S taper pots for tone (CTS 75065005). The official T-60 wiring diagram and theory of operation can be found online, and I can upload copies if you need them. Do you have a schematic? Many moons ago, Craig Anderton explained its operation in his GP column- but even if I could find my copy, I don't have a working scanner to convert it. Of course it is possible to use the T60 tone control circuit.
OK- now that I've gotten that off my chest, let's try to answer your questions! I used to leave the tone controls at one setting: start at 10, then roll off just to the point where the hum is bearable. Personally, I never found the Peavey circuit particularly useful it gives you the choice of noisy icepick single coil, muddy muted humbucker, or "something in between"*. I believe the pots used by Peavey are different in some way.I have an old T-60 with a broken neck pickup. I want to use 2 x push pull switches/pots, instead of the 4 pots as used by Peavey. My question is, is it possible to use the Peavey T60 type wiring set up, whereby one can dial in variable single coil/ humbuckers settings. I am building a guitar, “from scratch”, using 2 x 4 wire humbuckers (which I still have to wind). With a separate tone, you get to have a different value Cap for each Pickup. The reason, you have a separte tone for each pickup.
Go to the Humbucker drop down tab and pick the layout you want. I use the Seymour Duncan Guitar wiring layouts all the time with success.
I recommend using a standard wiring layout when you get to that point. Not sure I understand why the centertap of the pickups go to the tone controls. I build Pickups and wire guitars all the time.

Now have changed, as a beautiful guitar can make beautiful music! I was previously a hobby knife maker, & have sold knives to the States, & the U.K. I am not that experienced in electronics or reading proper schematic drawings! If anyone has any ideas & simple drawings I would appreciate the advice! I want the guitar to be minimalist, ie max 3 knobs (pref. I did experiment on my test guitar, with the normal linear & analog pots (total 4), but the transition between single/humbuckers was not as smooth & regular, as I would like, and am not even sure whether it can be done. I believe the pots used by Peavey are different in some way.
I have been a “lurker” that has learned a lot through the generosity of the knowledge sharing of many members. I have just become a member, and this is my first post!
