Ibanez Dyna-MIX10 switching w/ a Multi-pole 5-way & DPDT mini toggle???

Despised

New member
I am getting a new (to me) Ibanez RGR5227MFX-TFG, and I want to replace the stock 3-way switch and mini toggle coil split switch with Ibanez's Dyna-MIX10 switching system with the Alter Switch... And so far, I cant seem to get the complete Ibanez prewired switch setup, so Im looking to recreate it using a multi-pole 5-way switch and a DPDT On/On mini 2-way toggle switch instead...

Since the main switching on the 5-way is the same as the 1st attached diagram (the DiMarzio diagram...), is it possible to wire in a DPDT on/on mini toggle to the multi-pole 5-way switch to get the 2nd set of 5 switch tones, as shown in the 2nd attached pic of the Ibanez coil options?

And if I CAN wire the DPDT mini toggle to the multi-pole 5-way switch to get those other 5 tones, where does it get wired in??

Thanks everybody, much appreciate the insight and wisdom from everyone here as always!!

This should work to get you started. The dynamix uses a capacitor and resistor to partially split the humbuckers. So the dpdt switch is switching between the humbucker junction going to the cap/resistor going to ground, and the junction going straight to ground I believe. I’m thinking that because it has 2 resistors and 2 caps, that it uses one each exclusively for each humbucker junction, so you would wire the dpdt switch so the common middle pin say on the left goes to #2 and the right goes to #4. Then the switch shunts each to ground or to a separate cap and resistor each which gets grounded. I think this works because sharing the same path before the cap/resistor will intermingle the signals while keeping separate the cap/resistor paths until afterwards to ground won’t matter since it’s shunted at that point. So each common gets connected to that #2 and #4 as a replacement for the direct ground as in the diagram.

i believe that for the system to work, you need to flip the magnet or turn the whole pickup around and invert the wiring. Does anybody know if Ibanez already comes with the neck pickup magnet flipped? It causes me some confusion with magnetic south and north and coil wiring south and north (flipping the magnet to make the south coil that traditionally faces the neck on a neck pickup the “north coil” but still with the south coil wire colors like green and white for dimarzio.) if they keep the coil wiring codes but flip the magnet, that would be different wiring as opposed to turning the pickup around and inverting the wiring I think.. I never wrap my brain around it and would have to sketch it out. If you look at ibanez and dimarzio wiring schemes and compare I think depending on how you get the pickup determines the wiring for this. I’m assuming that the petrucci music man comes with the dimarzio magnet flipped with the neck side neck coil reflecting the green/white wires coil scheme while wiring fresh from the store dimarzio models of his pickups with the 4p3t switch would expect you to turn the neck pickup around and inverting the wiring. I look at his dreamcatcher and rainmaker humbuckers with screw poles on the neck facing coil of the neck and bridge facing coil of the bridge pickup as evidence of this. They are installed that way into his guitars and dimarzio expects you to install filister/slug humbuckers to match the traditional look. But the Ernie ball music man models come ready with the parallel coil wiring in the middle. If I’m wrong then somebody correct me about all this.
