Yamaha Revstar Dry Switch

I looked all over but couldn't find any diagrams for Yamaha's Dry switch. I'm not an electronics expert but I drew this from my RS820CR. I have some questions for the experts. I love this as opposed to splitting and tapping.
The guitar does not have any treble bleed when I'm rolling off the volume. Am I able to add a treble bleed to this or is the dry switch acting as that already with the switch? Also could any experts convert my sketch to a les Paul style three way. I really want to add this to some other guitars.SmartSelect_20190116-103222_Autodesk SketchBook.jpg

I can if I get some time today.

BTW -the Yamaha Revstars are friggin badass guitars. Probably one of the most under the RADAR rock machines ever.
 
Re: Yamaha Revstar Dry Switch

Thanks that'd be much appreciated. I stumbled on this guitar because of some quality control issues with an SG I bought. This was a little more money, but the craftsmanship was far superior to the Gibby. I might play around with capacitor values as the bass cut is really subtle, but that may be the best. To me it makes the bridge sound like an angry tele aka Dan's tele from that Pedal show. The neck sounds like a P90 when the dry switch is engaged. A nice pallet of tones. I've built modded and swapped pickups in lots of guitars from cheap to custom shop and never have a heard stock pickups that sound so good. The harmonic complexity is what gets me. I've heard decent import pickups as of late but never great. If I ever decide to sell this I'm going to be tempted to keep the pickups ��
