Epiphone BB King Lucille guitar treble pickup in mono mode

When I have my Epiphone BB King Lucille guitar plugged into the Mono Jack, the bridge pickup does not work, is it supposed to work or only work when both the mono and stereo jacks are plugged? Is there a stereo cable made for this guitar?

Realize that when you plug into the one jack it disconnects the fingerboard pickup from the mix.

DO NOT USE "stereo" cables as it is intended to use TWO MONO cables, one for each side of the stereo.

IF you plug into the one jack that will connect to the bridge pickup, it will disconnect the fingerboard pickup from the mix BUT leave the fingerboard on its own jack.
That same jack will have BOTH fingerboard and bridge pickups IF the second jack (bridge) is not plugged into.

This is according to the schematic. If you find that yours works backwards, then either the schematic is wrong OR your guitar pickups may be electrically swapped.

Installed EMG 57/66 into and Ibanez PS 10-2. Plugged all wires as shown in the instructions. Had to install a longer stereo jack plug. Now I only get bridge pickup. Cannot get neck pickup to work.

It calls for a stereo input jack? I'm not sure but I think It is probably calling for a 1/4 unbalanced input jack , keeps your signal mono. so if you are only getting the bridge pickup. You might check your position switch. and or your lead pick up. simply take the designated wire from the lead pick up and hook it up where your bridge position pick up is connected. (disconnect that first) if you get sound, then it just may be your switch. if you get nothing? check to make sure you have your ground correct and he lead wire correct. If these are active pick ups? you''ll need a battery source. if stil get nothing. your pick up may be bad.Thats a reads digest troubleshooting explanation. check your basics first. good luck

Guitar out has no sound

You must connect a short jack cable between the GK2 or GK3 and you normal guitar jack out. Secondly, the switch on the GK should be in the middle, that will give synth & dry guitar simultaneously.

Ephiphone guitar pickup wiring

Or a bad solder connection on the ground wire on the jack, or shell/sheild on the guitar.

Here is the list you seek.

I am looking for a manual (if there is one) for the Epiphone Sheraton II. I need to know which knobs do what (and also the three way switch) on the guitar. The guitar came with no manual!!

Most likely it is wired like most Gibsons. The volume knobs are the two at the neck end, the tones are the two nearest the rear. The lower two are volume and tone for the bridge pickup, the upper two are for neck pickup. Switch down is bridge or lead pickup, switch up is for neck or rythym pickup, and centre position is both pickups one, where all knobs can be used together.

We are having problems with a Behringer PMP5000 board. We have the switch setting on Mon1/Mono. We can get sound out of the monitor output, but the mono output is almost silent. Do you have suggestions...

It is NOT clear what configuration you have set up and what you consider the MONO output is, whether it is the power amp MONO side output or the line level MONO 1/4 inch jack on the top of the unit (this jack is NOT speaker output). If you can run normal stereo speakers using both sides of the power amp in the AB mode, the problems you are having is pilot error.

REMEMBER the main out 1/4 inch jacks are BALANCED TRS jacks... DO NOT put mono plugs into these.

A WARNING: If you use Speakon to 1/4 inch speaker cables, remember that the BARREL of side A is HOT, not the tip!!! You can fry the amp if you inadvertently ground that barrel someplace. (Side B has the barrel grounded) This information is NOT readily available in the manual and results in many a blown amp. They do this to implement the "Bridged" mode easily.

I have schematics and can unravel most any problem you are having.

Confuse about the jack

Both stereo and mono jacks will work fine on the inputs, any guitar or mic lead will work a treat.

You can use stereo jacks for the outputs too, but to keep it simple just use a mono jack in the L out and a mono jack in the R out.
