Alternate Dan Armstrong Wiring (Series out of phase)

[vanlandau]

Hey guys the dan Armstrong Wiring mod allows you to get a fender strats middle pickup out of phase OR in series with the neck or bridge pickup, is it possible to modify this wiring scheme to allow for SERIES AND OUT OF PHASE with the neck or the bridge at the same time? Thank you

Just wire the mid PU to a phase inverter switch or push pull.

Or, if you don't want any additional switch, wire the mid pickup out of phase to start with. It would give:

1-B, B+M in parallel OOP, M, M+N in parallel OOP, N (in normal Strat mode);

2-B+M in series OOP, B+M in parallel and in phase, M alone, M+N in parallel and in phase, N+M OOP in series (Armstrong mode, with the pot full up).

BTW, my main Strat is fitted with the Armstrong mod but I've put it on a push pull pot rather than on a potentioneter. Reasons: a) it requires a high resistance pot if we want the tone to stay bright and b) a high resistance pot will have an effect as a blender only when set really high. A switch is quicker to use for that.

Ill try to think twice about your original question, if time permits (too busy right now; anyway, I don't see at first glance how to mod a schematic which is already a work of genius and is , as such, difficult to deal with).
