Adding LR Baggs and Ghost Acoustic Phonic preamp to Les Paul with triple shots and ..

Ok I need a little help. I had posted earlier on an older thread (see link below) and have gotten a lot closer to what I want to do with my wiring.
https://forum.seymourduncan.com/showthread.php?280588-Need-help-with-wiring-for-pickups

So my magnetic pickup schematic will look like this
2 triple 2 vol 1 tone phase and series-parallel.jpg

Now I want to add a LR Baggs T-bridge piezo bridge and since the Control X is designed for Strats use the Ghost Acoustic Preamp to control the peizo. Both are available at StewMac and they confirm these two will work together.

Can I use push-pull pots on the tone controls to switch the preamp on/off and also for the mid/dark switch?

How does one replace what is essentially a 3 way 1 pole switch (Quick Switch) with the push-pull pot's DPDT? Would this mean I cannot switch the Mags off?

Thanks in advance.

You are correct to surmise that the functions of a three position switch cannot be duplicated with a DPDT or push-pull.

Please include a schematic diagram of the standard Quick Switch wiring.

Thanks Funk for taking the time to reply to my post. I know you are mad busy with work and other stuff.

Oh sorry I assumed most everyone was familiar with the Ghost Acoustic Preamp. Anyway they have 2 schematics.

The first one is without the mid/dark swtich

The second one is with the mid/dark

They have a scheme where the choice is Mag/Piezo but not Piezo On / Piezo off or Piezo/Both If I use the scheme below I can't blend Mag and Piezo. I would really appreciate any help here.

From what I know, I believe the mid/dark swtich can easily be replaced with a push-pull but the quick switch is not so straight forward. I would really appreciate some help here. Thanks.

They don't allow us to save the schematic as a JPG file so I had no choice but to include links.

Dear Funk,

I am unable to attach the schematic but I can send a link to the same.

Also I wonder if one can use a Stewmac 6 way switch for this. Stewmac has 2 versions of this. Which one is better suited?

If you see page 6 in the first link of the 6 way switches there is an option for switching a piezo with a pair of mags. Will this work with Ghost's Acousti-Phono Preamp?
