I need help with some guitar wiring. Can anyone draw up a schematic or explain to me how I would go about wiring a single humbucker directly to an input jack, no switching, no pots.

Thanks

I've been looking into building a guitar amp for the past couple of days because I figured it would be a cost-effective way to get the power I need (I'm going to build an amplifier for live performances, I don't need another practice amp), plus I enjoy DIY projects and I figured it would be fun.

Let me get some things out of the way: I have no experience with electronics, including soldering (I do own a soldering iron, not sure if the quality is good enough to build an amp with though), and I don't know how to read a schematic. I'm an absolute beginner and I know next to nothing. I've already read most of the pinned topics here, but I'm still pretty lost. Any recommended reading for information on schematics, general electronics, soldering, etc. would be appreciated.

The only things I know for sure is that I want something around 100w, +/- 20w would be fine, and I would like two channels, one clean, one for distortion. I was looking at this page: http://www.oliveaudio.com/index.php?page=3, and the second one down can put out 110w with "IRF540N / 9540N". Do you think this amp would be easy enough for a beginner like myself? If not, any recommendations?

Thanks,
Andrew
