Possible to get series & blender mod with Tone or TBX Pot? Hey Artie! Help needed...
In the next days i'm gonna "restore" my strat in it's usual shape with 3 single-coils, almost wired traditionally.
But i still like to have 2 additional sounds without changing the look.
one master volume, one master tone pot and one blender (NO-load-tone) pot for mixing neck & bridge together in parallel.
So far, i know how to wire this.
But then i'd like to know if it's also possible to use middle & bridge in series if i mod one pot, without sacrificing the 3rd position for the middle pickup alone?
I think it would be an option if i use a separate volume knob for the middle pickup and wire it in series with the 5 way switch or so. But this means a 4th knob...
I have this idea, how to use ONE pot, but not if this is possible:
What about using a TBX-pot? one half could work as blender mod (at 10) and one maybe as series mod (at 0). In the middle (5) it would do nothing.
But how to wire, if this could work?
Another Idea: a TBX pot which works half a master tone and half as blender pot, and another pot which works for the series mod.
Or this:
Using an allparts megaswitch, the first pole is wired standard, then switching to the 2nd-4th poles wich are wired with this mods.
So i would have the 5way wired standard, then use a switch and i would have "another" 5-way switching. If possible this "switching" should work with a pot.
Hope you understood this. It's hard to explain.
