Wiring Up A Blend Pot

Step 1) Starting with a green (will be ground) wire and a small piece of black wire, I solder the black wire to lug 1 on the 1st row of lugs. I then position the black wire and the green wire on lug 3 of row 2 and solder.

Trouble Shooting...

No sound from the amp when the guitar is plugged in?

Try checking the guitars wiring to make sure that no positive leads are touching the ground wires (or foil if your guitar is shielded). This will send the guitars signal to ground causing no signal to pass to the amp.
