  • Got a 4-way switch

    I have triple shots on this guitar and wanted to squeeze some more versatility out of it by phasing the pups with the 4-way blade switch, so i can get the "quack" i get when i accidentally install a magnet backwards. Ive done a LOT of guitar wiring, but i never actually understood the difference between phasing and series/parallel until now....i think.

    Bridge: wolfetone marshallhead
    Neck: burstbucker 3
    2 volume, 1 tone

    So i wanted to set it up like this:

    1. Out of phase (quack)
    2. Neck
    3. In phase (chime)
    4. Bridge

    But i accidentally wired it as series/parallel.

    1. Series (hotter)
    2. Neck
    3. Parallel (traditional)
    4. Bridge

    Although it's not what i was seeking, it is pretty awesome how i can use the triple shots to get literally ANY combination of coils for not only strat/tele tone, but also brian may tone.

    So now I'm probably installing a push/pull pot for phasing and leaving the 4-way for series/parallel.

    Regarding any post I've made before 2018, assume I've changed my mind by now.
Working...
