Is this just an enclosed Fender 5 way super switch for twice the price?

What's the difference between these switches?

No, the Freeway gives you 10 positions, the Superswitch gives you 5 positions. Also, the Freeway has predefined options for each position depending on your pickup configuration, the Superswitch allows you to define exactly how you want each position to function. On the other hand, the Freeway seems to have all the options I’d want and might be slightly easier to wire than a Superswitch.

Can we not? Let's stick to the OP, and make sure you employ the ignore function.Administrator of the SDUGF

I've got half a mind to buy one of those, just to see how it works. But I hate to drop $50 on something I'd probably never use. Ever since I've seen those, there's something I don't understand. Let's say you shift the handle to the right, and go all the way back. Then you shift to the left, and go all the way forward. If, in that position, you shift back to the right, you now have the handle all the way forward while the switching part is all the way back. I don't get how that could work.
Does the switch have a "middle" position, like a gear shift, so you can move to the other position without moving the contacts?

Generally, the Freeway is a more fragile switch. There have been reports on this forum of the switch failing, more than once. And it is expensive. I don't understand the point of having so many switching options without eventually hard-wiring your 5 favorite.Administrator of the SDUGF
