Is this schematic functional?

Re: Is this schematic functional?
Position 4 doesn't look like it gets out of phase to me - only in series like position 2. Also, when the pickups are in series, it appears so are the volumes, so there's cumilative loading of resistance there, i think. The way to test is turn each individually then turn both together and hear how it sounds. Each should work, but both at the same time should get noticeably dark.

I haven’t looked through the diagram

Yup. In series or parallel, both volumes remain in the path. Not ideal, but it should function.
I'll try this again on a new model soon. I have contemplated a 4 way, but what I want is:
* individual volume/tone pots per humbucker
* blade switch to select the pickups
* coilsplits
* out of phase
* series (both humbuckers in series, because the both in series split out of phase sounds GREAT: tried it with a slightly different wiring on another guitar and I wanted that tone again, but with individual volumes).
If someone can make me that, thanks!

Originally posted by orpheo View PostAllright, thanks. So, if I understand you correctly, if I turn down the neck volume or bridge volume in position 4, I should be able to cut the signal like normal? For some reason, I still don't get that thin, honkky out of phase tone I want.

Re: Is this schematic functional?
Originally posted by orpheo View PostUnfortunately, I agree. I would preferably use a 4 way blade (bridge, parallel both, series both, neck) and a push pull pot for phase and a push pull pot for split. Would love to see how you design this
Then two, I'll do the 4-way, with pp's.
On a sidenote, could we maybe double up on this thread, and continue our PM discussion here, since I can't post a pic in a PM? I figure it shouldn't hurt since you're the OP.

Originally posted by ArtieToo View PostI'll draw you up both. One way that does what you showed first, but redone in a way that I think makes more sense. Also, (and I hate to cost you money), but it will be with a standard Superswitch. Even I have a hard time translating those Megaswitches to other than their stock configuration. (But I will look at the Megaswitch to see if I can adapt it.)

I can translate the Super to a Mega in a pinch, no worries. I kinda 'have' to use the Schaller mega; i have still 20 laying around and I have a super tiny switch cavity.

As for my PM, picture this:
The wiring would look like this:
The guitar is just an example. Basically, the semi-hollow "look", with no controls, for a super clean look. If it was a quasi-semi-hollow, as you were talking about, that would be cool. All my electronics would be external.
