FENDER 4-INPUT REDUX

Post by ViperDoc »

I want to duplicate the 4-input bridged setup I always used when running a Tweed amp using only a single jack. I always run my cable into the BRIGHT HI, and bridge the BRIGHT LO:NORMAL HIGH jacks together with a small patch cable. It's subtle, but the other permutations sound differently to me, admittedly with the same volume settings. How would you use a single jack and duplicate the same channel interactions the bridged setup uses? Please see the file below, enjoy a laugh if I'm out in the woods, or please tell me what you'd do. Thanks.

You’ve got TN of the Lo sockets connected to the shield and circuit common. They should be connected to the T tip of their respective Hi sockets.

I always hated the loss caused by the 68Ks between the channels when you use a jumper cable. Here's what I came up with using Switchcraft jacks. If you are using cliff type jacks, you can arrange things so there are two Both jacks. You plug into one and run the other to another amp.

It would look like this...

Thank you for the responses!

I still haven't figured out how to get KiCad to print the circuit junctions on schematics since updating to the latest version. I might have to upgrade to Martin's Pilot G2 Rollerball method. Y'all's other versions don't look too bad neither. FULL RESPECT. There's a time to use your imagination; methinks not when reading circuits. :mrgreen:
