Volume/Bass/Treble if the pickups are bassy, if not I'd say VVT

I haven't decided what pups are going in this yet. But that's not a bad idea.

However you wire it up, that is one cool axe!
I'd probably go V/V/T.
Series/Parallel switch for middle position, phase switch on one of the pickups and a kill switch.

I like that idea too, except for the kill switch. I probably wouldn't use it. But it's still a thought.

I have a couple of the "internal" SFX-01 boosters. I'm toying with the idea of using one of those in the 3rd hole. Maybe with a set of Invaders.
That would be awesome. Especially in a BC Rich.

VVT. The ability to blend pickups and control output to the amp is far more important than the tone control for me. I might be inclined to only put the tone on the bridge.

But what about those occasions where the crowd demands you cover Bulls On Parade? :lmao:

I also prefer the VVT Combination, I find it much more useful to be able to adjust individual volumes than individual tone controls.

I'd go VVT, but modern style with the first volume controlling the bridge pickup.
The Gibson knob order is far more cumbersome.
Been thinking about reversing the volume controls on my Explorers.

I’ve pondered this for many years. I think what I’ve come down to it one of the following:
-VTT: I’m a Strat player at heart and this is what my brain expects. However the two tones are usually unused and I’d be fine with master tone
-VVT with “reversed” volume locations. (I use the bridge a lot and reaching for the second knob to roll back the volume is not intuitive)
-MV/NV/T Master volume to act like normal, neck volume to “set a preset neck clean” and tone. This resolves the issues of the above but is pretty unique.
-V/T/“thing” The “thing” could be a kill switch (now no second volume so a stutter would need the kill switch) or a boost/EQ. This is more useful to me than a second tone for sure.

This is where I'm leaning right now. I have two of the "in-guitar" versions of the SFX-01 Pickup Booster. I've been dying to find a project for one, and this could be it. So, I'm thinking either: MV/BT/SFX-01 or MV/MT/SFX-01.
I kinda like that idea of tone only for the bridge pup. I've got a couple different ideas on how to isolate the tone to bridge only. And if I use the SFX-01, then that last switch will be the "resonance" switch.
Pic below lettering isn't that blurry on my computer. Not sure what's going on there.
