Is that what they meant by parallel out of phase?
Yup.

I didn't know the coils were OOP when they were in parallel.

You're fine. I just don't why they just didn't say parallel. The OOP part just adds confusion IMO.

Sorry Dave. I don't mean to argue with you, but look at the wiring instructions. (It's a separate PDF.) Red & white are tied together. That makes it impossible for the pup to be in "normal" parallel. They can ground red/white, then connect black & white together for "hot." Or vice-versa. They can't make red hot and white ground.
That's why page 3 calls it "parallel out-of-phase", which just isn't a useful sound. The two coils are so close together, you get almost total cancellation. It will sound terrible. IMHO. :cool2:

I'm all for technology, but just NOT in a guitar; I don't want to use an app to set up my guitar, sorry. If this had some type of manual switch I'd be very interested, but I'm not @#%$ing around with an app when I want to play...

You don't have to. You set the switch up once, and never have to access the app again.

My beef is needing batteries in a guitar with passive pickups. Great for chronic tinkerers.
But, like Top-L, I'd use a Superswitch once I found the configurations I wanted.

OK, but does it do bridge straight to output, no volume and no tone?

Obviously not, or the switch couldn't control it.

I plan on getting one for my strat that has 3 humbuckers. I noticed today that Sweetwater just happens to be offering 150 bonus bucks with the Mark V that I'm about to purchase so I think I will be using those bonus bucks from the amp for the hyper switch.

I was just being silly, hahaha. It is a very neat idea for the people that want that kind of versatitlity. Killer invention, TBH.
It has been available as a Sweetwater exclusive for the last month, but should be in wide release now.

You can bypass the tone controls at least.
I can also see it being useful to try out a bunch of combos in a guitar before hardwiring your favorites to a superswitch (if possible).
