SSH Vol+Tone each pickup. No switches. Possible?

[rebelhead]

The idea is to get tone and volume for each pickup. Maybe full tone humbucker and some neck with rolled out tone. Maybe some blended combination of tone and volume between any of the three pickups.

I have three stacked pots. 250x2 and 500. Oh and some of them orange drop caps(.047/.022)
I wired it all up onto my pickguard but I think my result is a little weird! Not actually sure what does what(unexpected results). Sounds good to my ears without dialing in anything.
Had this crazy idea to have each pickup/v/t wired directly to my little 4 channel mixer.

I would not do the blend thing, actually I would do the following if I were you:

* A single 250k volume for the neck and middle single coils and a 500k volume for the bridge humbucker. Kind of a Les Paul dual volume so you can crank the gain in your amp and then lower one volume for "clean" and put the other one just a little higher for "crunch".
* Add a switch so the pickups skip the "clean" and "rhythm" volume knobs (or switch to the other leg of the volume pot) for maximum volume and you have a lead tone that way and you can go back to your "clean" or "rhythm" sound with the flick of a switch.
* An variation to the point above could be that the switch re-wires the pickups into a single master volume. That way you can still have a master volume knob in you guitar like a Strat to go gradually from clean to lead and in betweens or just crank all it for a lead sound like before.

I don't use the tone knobs in my guitars as you can notice Also, as you can notice I don't have a switching system, this way I can forget about changing channels in my amp, one stomp less to care about and I can just turn on-off one of my FX pedals without going crazy
