Wiring Diagram with No Tone Pots

Are there any diagrams available that show how to wire a dual humbucker guitar with one volume pot for each pickup and no tone pots? Is this even possible?

I've looked through pages and pages of searches and haven't been able to find anything. Just looking for this simple setup rather than anything complicated.

Thanks for any help!

Just take the tone pots completely out of the circuit. What you will have left is a switch and two volumes. If you don't want the switch take that out too and parallel the output of the volume controls to the jack.

I can't believe I never found that diagram. All I could find were ones with all these complicated bits where things were added rather than taken away.

Thanks to both of you!

+1 helped me through many changes with coil taps and kill switches always without a tone knob, fookin useless things use your amp for it unless you're trying to sound more like or make up for a bass

useless for you maybe but indispensible for me...

I play rhythm with the tone on the bridge pup rolled off, for lead I open it all the way. It'd be pretty impractical for me to do that with the amp controls.

i could never master changing the knobs during songs or inbetween acurately enough for my liking,

i just always find switching between neck and bridge pick ups does the trick but generally the stuff i write for my band although theres two guitar parts, there is hardly ever one definate lead and definate rhythm, theyre both some where inbetween and need to cut through so full tone is a must, but is your guitar humbucker in the bridge or singlecoil? i'll admit when i played a strat and a tele i did apreciate the tone control then just to cut off the sharpness a tad

and not if you have a four channel amp or even a two,

but to be fair i remember in a band in the past i did use my volume to clean up the rythm pickup for changing between but i prefered switches since on my les paul i wanted to use the toggle as a kill switch

The guitar I use the tone on most is a Tele, with the tone down on the bridge I get my perfect rhythm tone, a tone I can't get from the neck pup, although I do use it from time to time.
