Without spending alot of time thinking about it, I'd say you need a super switch for that. I could be wrong and it gives me a headache right now to think anymore about it, so hopefully someon else will pipe in on this.

On the side...how do you like the V5. I'm loving my V22.
 
Re: Super 5 way switch, 2 hb and vtt wiring help

Oh man am I stupid. I just reread your post...you DO have the super switch. If noone answers this for you, I'll get out the paper and pencil and figure this one out after I've had a good night's sleep.

Pretty straight-forward. I'll post it when I get home.

Done quik-'n-dirty. Like this: (And the tone pots should be grounded also.)

(Diagram corrected, thanks to Zhaggy.)

You are missing the splits for the neck. And can't you do that tone thing on one pole: connect the common pole to the hot wire and then connect tone2 to the first two lugs and tone1 to the last three. Then you have one pole free for the splits.

Yup! I first viewed this at work, and then did a brain-fart when I got home. :banghead:

(It was around 1:00am.)

Corrected drawing coming shortly. Thanks for pointing that out Zhaggy.

Edit: Diagram corrected.

Artie and zhaggy.....glad you were able to get the solution. I was brain dead yesterday (obviously from reading my posts) and couldn't get to it till I got some sleep.

Mark.......tell me how you're liking the Bugera V5. I've got the V22 and love it.

Thanks for all your help again, when the switch comes in I will get it all together. Running a rio grande BBQ in the bridge, with a soon to get here Duncan blackback neck (believe it is a pgn)
500k volume and neck tone, with a 250k no load bridge tone, with orange drop (.022) and a mojo Dijon (.047) caps, treble bleed mod, held together with vintage style wire.

I dig the v5, it works very well for a Low watt blues amp. It does cleans ok, not fender good, but ok. The overdriven breakup is where I find it works best. Have my gain on about 7, tone is dimed, and volume on 3 or so( I usually keep it on .1 watt, due to kids wife and baby) , but when they are gone.....cranked for some very nice tube breakup.
