Non"invasive" toggle switch options?

[BadAspen]

I would be wiring it the same as PRS where it just sends a small cap to ground, essentially the same as a tone control set to 10 with a 5 nF (0.005 uF) cap. I tried an old PRS Custom at a guitar store that had one and I quite liked it.

It's mentally not too complex at all.

The sweet switch in the old PRSi was not a cap; Paul used an unusual analog delay chip that isn't made anymore.
But a small cap to ground works fine as a dark switch.

I still think a short bat toggle in the usual spot is the simplest option.
Installs in a plain hole. Not in the way of your blade switch, but easy to flip when you want to.

If you're willing to attempt a more complicated install, I might go for the push-push mini button used in Tylers.
Nearly invisible, black button or white. And you can put it wherever you want.

I don't know how the PRS sweet switch claims to work, but a passive signal delay isn't really a thing

This would be cool for an Elite Strat type switching system.

This is the chip that was used for the original sweet switch, a 150 nanosecond passive delay:

It's that classic "one ten millionth of an Elvis" slapback delay.

Like you, I can't even begin to imagine how this could work. But I did find the manufacturer. Unfortunately, you have to email them to get a data sheet. I think I will tomorrow.

Hmm... according to the research I've done on it, a passive delay line is 2 inductors and 2 capacitors. That's all I've managed to find

I checked on these some years ago. As I remember, the minimum order size at the time was 5 units.
If you decide to order I'd happily chip in for one, and I bet there are others who'd be interested.
Might be worth opening a thread about that, if and when.

The sweet switch is a pretty cool thing. It seems to react a bit differently to the various positions on the 5-way rotary.
Not sure if it might be the unusual design of the T&B humbuckers. Or just be my perception playing tricks.
But I suspect the interaction might be more complex than a plain cap-to-ground arrangement.
Then again, the cap to ground does more than simply bleed off treble...

Whats the cost on them?

If I was a younger man, I'd be all over this. But I've got too many projects I have yet to finish.

I'm not writing it off completely, but let me (us) do more research on this. If I read the website properly, the max delay, passively, is about 5ns. I'm not exactly sure what I'd do with that.

[Chistopher]

It's not a linear delay, so I figure it would effect your tone

As I remember, they were about $12 each. But that was a few years ago.
