Re: volume control hookup method affects tone

MKB	Re: volume control hookup method affects tone The L-pad is a dual pot arrangement used in speakers. It allows controlling the level of signal to a driver, but presents a constant impedance to the crossover. Maybe this will help in your application, as you can have the pickup pot turned down but a highish impedance is seen by the other pickup and pot. Here's a link, look towards the bottom under "Adjustable Shelving Network" for an explanation: http://www.termpro.com/articles/faders.html
