Wiring diagram request & push/pull suggestions: 7 string HH + 5 way super switch

I'm hoping someone can cook one up or point me towards a place to make wiring diagrams/templates. This one is going to be tight and tricky!

What i have:

.Ibanez Iron label 7 string (RGIX27FEQMTG)

.SD Sentient/Pegasus set

.1x Dimarzio 5 way superswitch

.1x stacked 500k/500k pot with push/pull, audio taper

.1x stacked 500k/500k pot with push/pull, volume taper


Set up i would like:

1 - Bridge HB

2 - Bridge & Neck split, outer coils

3 - Bridge HB + Neck HB (or another option? some kind of parallel setting?)

4 - Bridge & Neck split, inner coils

5 - Neck HB

.Treble cut & bass cut for the neck pickup (PTB style)
.Tone for the bridge pickup
.Master volume
.Options/opinions for use of the push/pulls. I'm not fussed about a killswitch, i have that option on the pedalboard.

My idea with this setup is to get a variety of tones while keeping a consistent volume across all switch positions, hence the different humbucker configurations and a master volume. The tone controls will make the neck pickup more usable and battle the extended range bass issues. I've done parts of this set up previously on separate guitars (PTB, 5 way switch), but i've never rolled it all into one.

Thoughts and thanks

Do you want the split settings (2 & 4) to be hum cancelling? If so, you may have to flip a magnet in one of the pickups. I would think you'd need a Super Switch for at least that part of the diagram. The middle position would be both series humbuckers in parallel with each other.

Yes hum cancelling is a must. I forgot to mention the pickups are in the active soapbar housing, can those be opened? would rotating a pickup 180 have the same effect?

The stock switch is only a 3-way, so i'll be replacing it with the super switch anyhow. That's the standard for HH middle position? that will be fine then.

Where did you get your stacked push/pull pots? Are they also concentric?
