Help Identify This Switch,,,

And where I can get one? Is it a 'Superswitch' or a Mega Switch E? I like this pictured schematic because it shows my 1 volume, 1 tone setup, which leads me to ask, that if the Mega & the Duper are different animals, can the Mega be made to work w/my 2 controls?
Thanks & best health to all!!

That is a super switch diagram. The Super is more versatile than the Mega, which is hard-wired for some very specific combinations. They work wonderfully if those combos are exactly what you are looking for.
 
Re: Help Identify This Switch,,,

Hiya MINCER & all else,,, The first pic is a Standard SSS guard, but using the MEGA E, or some friendly facsimile, offering a diff. #3 sound, w/the B+N,,,,

Next up(blue page) is a simple HS guard, I call my RR mod, with 5 unique settings, but with the MEGA E+ & 2 alt. schems showing the N&S coils reversed for diff. quackability! 1V & 1T,,,

Last up is my HSS guard, with ONE Volume & ONE Tone, & tone affecting only the Bridge p/u, which I already have on auto-tap, BUT with the MEGA E, offering swappable N&S coils in positions
2 & 3 (schematics circled), and I want to maintain my 1V/1T setup.

So, what to get,,,Schaller E & E+, a Fender Superswitch, some other quality facsimile, and is there one switch that does all of the above?
Thanks all & be well~~

More HSS, but wired the N&S coils swapped in the 2 & 3 positions,, & no more middle pup alone,,, still 1V, 1T, tone only on middle pup,,, and if doable, a switch to swapping the N&S as mentioned

Again the HS, but N & S coils swapped for a separate pickguard, unless a switch could make the coil swap??

DAVE/MINCER,,, Kindly check my pics, all done separately cuz I'm a dumass,, exhausting for me, & hopefully second nature for everyone else!!
Be well all~~
 
Re: Help Identify This Switch,,,

Looking through this, and having used a few different MegaSwitches as well as several Superswitches, the Megas (I have used mostly E and E+) are very specifically hardwired for their diagrams, so any change in what position 3 (or any other) does generally won't work. I will admit I haven't tested them to see if things could be changed, but I just went to a SuperSwitch if I wanted to change what a certain position does. I am getting my information from here, which is the site I go to for any MegaSwitch questions.
For the last diagram...could you flip a magnet in the humbucker?
 
Re: Help Identify This Switch,,,

THANKS MINCER!! You got me 100%, and I'm correct in that the Megas will do exactly what I see & want. Whenever I mentioned swapping magnets, really meant changing the N/S HB coils to give me the 'ALT' options that I marked. I thought maybe a toggle could be added to perform that, but it's not really that important,,,if I want the N/S changes in any given combo position, I'll simply open it up & change, especially if there's no simple switching. So, I take it the Megas are decent & easy for this novice to intermediate level tinkerer?
Thanks & good health~
 
Re: Help Identify This Switch,,,

Yeah, the MegaSwitches are wonderful if you want exactly what they do. I've used them several times, and they are easier than figuring out the same wiring on a Super Switch (which for some reason, I have to figure out every time I go to wire one).
