1 humbucker guitar trick

[Zheddar]

Hello everyone, I am putting together a one humbucker strat with a kill switch, 1 volume pot, and a 3 way on-on-on switch. What I'm wanting to do is have the 3 way switch do series, split/or parallel, and then have the last setting kind of act like a tone pot turned way down. Is there any kind of resistor and or capacitor magic that I can do to get this effect?

If using a blade switch, one side of the switch could send red/white to ground for the split in one position , and the other side could put a .022 cap onto the hot output for the tone-all-the-way-down sound in a different position.

Don't think you could get parallel wiring off only one side of the blade and still do the cap thing on the other side. You have to move white to positive and red to ground at the same time. Need both sides of the switch for that I think.

It's a dpdt on-on-on like this one. https://docs.google.com/gview?embed.../uploads/2016/05/WD_Pushpull_minitoggle_3.pdf. I was thinking about using a .022 cap like your said. It's the only solution I could think of though. It would be a little too much, but I guess I could just change the cap value till I got it right.
