the four pole, double throw switch (4pdt) is basically two double pole, double throw (dpdt) switches in one

as far as the wiring, think of the switch as two dpdt switches, each pup gets wired to one half the 4pdt switch. the two pups wires are kept separate.
in the diagram, that is a dpdt switch with one pup. youd basically do that twice

To do that w just a single switch, you'll need a 4 pole double-throw (4PDT), on-on type. Typical switches have just 2 poles. You need 2 poles for each humbucker, hence 4 in total. This 4DPT switch is going to look like to 2DPT switches side by side, lug wise.
Wiring diagram wise, you'd be doing the following for each of the two humbuckers on that switch.

Oh, yes, good point. Coils in series/parallel. So, switch up, front HB coils in parallel, back HB coils in parallel. Switch dn, front HB coils series, back HB coils series.

Ok, it certainly exists but I sure haven't found it. I have two humbuckers, a volume knob and balance knob. I'd like to have a single mini-toggle switch that switches BOTH humbuckers from series to parallel. Or maybe someone could point me to this more typical setup: a volume / tone / 3-way switch with a mini-toggle to switch BOTH between series and parallel.
I'm 100% sure somebody in this forum knows how to do that!1 PhotoTags: None
