Wiring Diagram needed

DR Ron

New member
I have a Squier Strat With the following configuration:

B: Pearly Gates
M: Stock...soon to be replaced perhaps Vintage Rails
N: Jr JB

I have a Superswitch, a Fender TBX and various pots, switches etc.

I truly would like to make my Strat a Tone Monster with:

Coil Splitting
Phase
Series/Parallel

Problem is I am struggling to find a diagram that combines all of this, I have found some bits and pieces but the TBX in place of a tone control is boggling my mind.

Does anybody have any information on how to wire this up?

Thanks,
Ron

Lots of possibilities out there. I can probably help with a diagram, but not until later tonight after work. In the meantime, check out this one I did for my main gigging guitar... it has an almost stupid amount of settings, but it's an HSH...

Most of those settings you will never use.

Don't try to make a magical guitar with 100 settings, just a usable guitar. You can make your guitar a "tone monster" with just 5 or 6 settings. Here is a useful diagram:

FWIW, GuitarDoc, I agree with you... I don't use most of the settings on there, but it gave me a good foundation for figuring out what it is that I like. I'm actually going to be changing it soon and eliminating some in order to make it more user-friendly.

The OP just said he wanted to do coil splits, phase reverse and series/parallel... but didn't really specify where he wanted the options among the three pickups or whether series/parallel meant within a pickup or between two pickups. I wasn't suggesting that he go crazy, but wanted him to see some possibilities. That diagram has LOTS of them to choose from AND it's for an HSH, but unless he's looking for a lot of work and confusion or just (like me) wants to see how far he can go and find out what he likes, I would agree that getting 5 or 6 usable sounds is ideal. I should have been more clear, but I was running out of time this morning! :D

DR Ron... the offer still stands. I would be happy to help you come up with a diagram if you can give me some more specifics, and I imagine that GuitarDoc would be happy to do the same. He certainly has more experience than I do!

BriGuy...I totally hear where you are coming from. As a platform to discover what sounds you like, you definitely have a point. I have found from lots of years and experience that my favorite sounds can be had from certain humbuckers in series or in parallel (I generally don't like split, and rarely have a need for oop).
