Triple Shot..P-Rail..Toggle Switch

[snootles]

I have two triple shots and two p-rails going into a guitar with two extra mini toggle switches.

Can I use the toggles for parallel/series and phase with the p-rails?

Depends on the specs of the toggles (SPST, DPDT, etc.).

they are both DPDT

Serries/parallel shouldn't be a problem. Not sure about phase, but I think you can.

This site should help.

One thing to know is that series/parallel and phase switching will only work when both pickups are on, ie., middle position on the pickup selector and if you have volume pots for each pickup, you can control the effect by adjusting the volume of one or the other pickup.

Actually, there's no graceful way to have series in the middle using the standard gibson style toggle. In fact, the Duncan diagram I linked to overrides the bridge and middle positions in series mode and if you try to select the neck pickup you lose all signal. If you used a DPDT on/on/on (the SG-style toggle with six lugs qualifies) we might be able to make it work.
