  • HSS guitar: new Ibanez dyna-MIX9 switching

    Ibanez has come with a new switching system for his Tom Quayle Signature and AZ series

    I'm pretty interested in getting those tones. Is there any easy way to make this wiring? I mean without turning the circuit into spaghetti haha

    - 5-Way Super Switch
    - 3PDT toggle

    Humbucker uses Duncan colors (black to hot, red/white for splitting, green and bare to ground)

    Hot goes to your volume control. GND is ground.

      Boom

      I thought it was a schaller megaswitch s due to the top but I wouldn’t know how to do the bottom 5

        You can do that half with just a standard 5-way.

        I've never been a fan of the Megaswitches. They aren't flexible.

        I wonder if the OP is ever going to come back.

          It works in the guitar I have put together.
          I have drawn the complete wiring diagram for those who are interested:

              This is awesome!
              Would you happen to know how you would wire the switching for the HH pickup model?
              I can't find any information on how Ibanez power tap works.

                I've done the first (#1) with a Super Switch. As far as #2 goes, what exactly is a 'power tap'?

                  Looks to be a partially tapped humbucker.

                    Well, that is a pretty cool idea. I'd love to try this system out before I wired that nightmare up, though.

                      Ibanez defines it as "a normal tap but with boosted low end"
                      Ibanez is stepping up their SR300 series with the SR300E basses, featuring upgraded pickups and electronics. The models, which come in four-, five-, and six-string versions, aim to bring a high quality of tone and control to a lower price point. The lineup centers around Ibanez’s new Powerspa


                      My best guess is that's their way of wiring the humbucker in parallel.

                        why not this?

                        Schematic diagrams for Free-Way 5B5-01, 5B5-02 & 3B3-01 Blade switch models. Dimensional templates also provided.


                        the 2x5 way blade does just what you want, it solders easily, super sturdy mechanism, and no extra toggle you need to have. I know what I'd want on my HSS guitar.

                          Is that diagram correct? In position 2 the bridge pickup is in parallel still, not in series? If so, is there a way to do everything else the same, but have the bridge in series when the mini switch is in position 2 (series position)?

                            I would like to follow up on this wiring. I really wish to use this one but there is one position I don't find appealing and I wish it could be different. In setting 1, you have the bridge humbucker full. Would it be possible to alter this wiring in such a way that you can have the outer bridge humbucker coil?

                              On the lower left quadrant, reverse the two connections at "out" and #4. (Red arrows.) Be sure to move both red wires that are on #4. Then add a jumper between to the two "5's".
