Rikki_Sixx Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Hi guys, I've discovered something about my Epi 339 Pro which I thought I'd ask the collective about. With the pick-up toggle switch in the middle position (both pick-ups on), if I turn the volume on either pup down to zero then the whole guitar goes silent. Is this normal behaviour for a 2x volume / 2x tone Epi? I've seen conflicting things online, and I can see where it would be useful (quickly silencing a guitar onstage). In reality it's probably not a big-deal either way for me. I practice with vol/tone fully on, and if I want one pup or the other I just toggle. Mainly I'm curious, as aftermarket pups have been fitted. If the wiring is wrong then I'll get it fixed whenever I take it for a set-up. If it's just a quirk of Epiphone then at least I know! Cheers!

It's 'normal' for most Gibson/Epiphone models, and has its advantages, as you've mentioned. Here's a page on the Gibson site, giving a full, rather detailed, description of what's happening, and an alternative ... 3 way switch in middle, turn one volume down, BOTH pup outputs go down. Wanna know why? ... Hope this helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezbass Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Sounds like standard Gibson/Epiphone (and copies thereof) behaviour to me, that’s how you get that kill switch effect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
