Ganged (TBX?) tone pot wiring- back to stock help
Hello wiring wizards,
Please help. Some years ago I had my Tele rewired and I'd like to bring it back to stock. This Amer Std from the '90s has what I believe I read on another thread to be the TBX control. It has two pots stacked one on top of the other for the tone control, but only a single control knob up top. I looked at a variety of wiring diagrams on the Fender site, but could not locate one that I recognized as the double pot. It seems like the caps are wired to the wrong pins, if I use the std Tele diagram on this site to compare. Will someone help with this? Thank you, fphh

Here is a post where we had discussion of the TBX pot. It has my schematic in it like the one below.
![]() Just take the wire coming from the volume control that goes over to the TBX junk and connect it to a regular tone pot with a cap to ground and you are good to go.

Thank you, tdowns. Thank you for the thread link, also. It looks from the diagram that I should connect the wire from the top/right hand pin of the vol pot to the center pin of the bottom (1m) pot, yes? Or does it make a difference which pin I use? Happily, my tbx still has the .022 uf cap and a resistor still wired onto it.

Neither section of the TBX pot will work correctly as a regular tone control. Each section only works during one half of its rotation. You will need to get a regular pot to go back to standard configuration.
