![]() ![]() I feel that a Gibson-style pickup selector is in my way when I am (for instance) tapping.I prefer a blade switch close to my picking hand for switching things (it is faster to me).The reason(s) I would like this to work with a blade switch (3-way/super) are I did not cover this in my first post, but I actually presented the high level idea to a guy who has been helping me when I have been planning the build, and he had a high-level diagram showing how the pickup is connected to a push/pull Volume control, that either bypasses everything (”Blower switch”) or includes the Volume control and a Tone Control (the diagram included the S-a-S control, too). I read your article about how to implement a blower switch, and it was so well written that even I thought that I understood what was said! And I had actually seen the excellent article on Seymourduncan about the Spin-a-Aplit mod, it was referenced when I first heard about this mod. ![]() Thank you so much - again! Your first sentence answered my question most accurately - unfortunately Seriously, the information and the links you provided were most helpful! Out of the components on the right hand side of the switch my assumption (is it wrong) is that they ( Volume and Tone) don´t have to be connected to the bridge humbucker, except the "Spin-a-Split" (will that "Spin-a-Split" connection to the humbucker cause a problem?)Īny comments, ideas, suggestions etc greatly appreciated - thank you! And please be kind with your answersĪnd in case you wonder, yes, normally a one-humbucker "EVH-type" of guitar has only 1 volume, and potentially 1 tone control.On the right hand side of the switch are the three different "sounds" (see description above), with all related components, except position 3 that has no components.The commons in the switch are jumpered, and all output from the switch goes from the upper common (C) to the output jack (upper right).That pole 3 is jumpered to poles 2 and 1, which should make the bridge humbucker available in all 3 positions.The bridge humbucker (on the left) is connected to the 3-switch to pole 3 (on the left).The basic idea is that whenever the 3-way switch is in a specific positions, a bunch of components (or nothing) would be included, otherwise not. I´ll try to explain the idea of the wiring diagram below. "Solo/Blower Switch": In this position the pickup would not be altered in any way, producing the "full sound"."Solo/Rhythm": In this position there would be only a fixed 500K resistance (or similar) to "tame the tone" a bit." Rhythm/Clean": In this position I would be able to use a Volume knob, a Tone knob, and a "Spin-a-Split" knob.Here are the positions in the switch and the corresponding sounds and components used Using the 3-way switch (it is my preference, even if push/pull pots and other ways could be possible) I want to quickly choose between three "sounds". The guitar (will be) a one humbucker (bridge) guitar, but what makes it a bit different is the amount of controls planned for it It looks very different from the wiring diagrams I have ever seen, but here we go: So right now I am requesting help from the experts on this forum to verify that this idea for wiring is possible, at least in theory. As a disclaimer, I know nothing about actual wiring and/or logic of how wiring works, so please bear with me! I have created a "logical wiring diagram" that shows how I would like it to work on a high level, but it does not show any real wiring (which I would need at some stage). However, I have had an idea for the wiring of the guitar, and depending on if it is doable or not, I will order a "bunch of holes" in the Warmoth body. When it comes to the Warmoth build part I am very soon ready to order the body and the neck and I will create a separate "Build thread" for that. As some of you might have noticed, I am planning a guitar build and I have asked lots of questions related that (thanks for all the help so far!). ![]()
