SH-8 in 5-way switch (1 humbucker only; Ibanez S7320)

Re: SH-8 in 5-way switch (1 humbucker only; Ibanez S7320)

So, now there is one switch position that rly gives no output ( i can hear not even noise) but the remaining 4 slots dont pick up the strings... just noise. before i removed those two connections at least one switch position gave me sound. Are you sure output is C (1) and ground is C (2)? The stock wiring had ground on 3 (1) and output on C (2)...

Click to expand...

We have to clear which are the common poles of the switch basically. Do you have a multimeter? I put the ground on the second common because it has to be connected to different wires of the pickup if we want to change the phase.

ok, let me check some neighbours here in dormitory for a cam ... hey, its the second position from bridge that is supposed to be `no sound´ was expecting the second from neck would be that so the position to the very neck could be out of phase... its not so important of course, but maybe its a hint if my assumption is right . ... one moment, brb

couldnt find a good cam...
i noticed if i have the amp super loud i can hear some sound comin from the position before the silent position... (very very quite string sound between lots of noise while amp very loud[bridge], silent, no, no, no[neck])
maybe those three ´no´ positions do also give a bit but much less...

It's kind of hard to say. Where does the red (out) wire go exactly?

Too bad I don't have my guitar here so I can try it myself too.

This was the switch from stock...

... could it be possible that i soldered mirror-inverted?
and probably the ground soldering was not so nice, maybe cause i stacked the new on top of the old garbage...
but just suggestion

I'm using a tb4 w/ a 5 way super switch, although I kept the neckbucker. Also have a Pearly Gates and '59 w/ a 5 way super switch. I would keep both pickups and enjoy the diversity. If you are planning on using just one pickup, then dump the 5 way and go w/ amini switch for series/parallel switching Which is what I did with my old Kramer Baretta ('85).
 
Re: SH-8 in 5-way switch (1 humbucker only; Ibanez S7320)

but it seems like Metalblaze´s solution might work out... at least the killswitch in slot 4 and the out of phase sound behind... there is just some mistake somewhere..

YEEEES BRO :D
i got it! i compared the Video with my stock wiring.
my 5-way switch is exactly like the one in the video, it must.
So now you can check how new position of commons and rest will lead to new positioning in the wiring sketch...
You just need to check the video, it explains everything you need i guess ;)
so close to the grail, dont let me down now!
 
Re: SH-8 in 5-way switch (1 humbucker only; Ibanez S7320)

Im tryin to figure it out, but its too tough... due to the different internal wirings of the 2502N switch the wiring of the given diagram of Metalblaze needs to be adjusted...
 
Re: SH-8 in 5-way switch (1 humbucker only; Ibanez S7320)

is it necessary for the first switch position to connect to the green ground wiring for the humbucker series setting?
 
Re: SH-8 in 5-way switch (1 humbucker only; Ibanez S7320)

Sorry I fell asleep yesterday, it was too late here. :) Yeah that must be it. I was thinking about it from the beginning that the commons hve to be different.

Let me check it more carefully and I'll get back.
 
Re: SH-8 in 5-way switch (1 humbucker only; Ibanez S7320)

hey, you checked the slot-selection of the 2502N switch?
the first slot picks only ground and green then...

Today i tried solving the equation, but i was confused because most switch position of your consideration kicked alomst all the switch slots... so i just dont have the knowledge what wiring would lead to which effect ...

... (e.g. for slot 1 i would need to solder a extra wire since the 2502N switch kicks only one side and either the HOT or the GREENground wouldnt be kicked, but if i solder an extra wire, a later switch position of the given diagram of yours would get messed up)

I think you might know much better.

If you considered everythin i would start over... but it looks like switch one would kick only green here...
