How to wire tone/volume bypass?


I have a two humbucker guitar (both Dimarzio). It has a 4 pole, 3 way on-on-on pickup selector switch (like the Dimarzio EP1111). Options currently are

1 bridge
2 inner coils of both
3 neck

I just ordered two push pull pots. I want one to split the coils of the neck and bridge. One pot can't do this independantly so they would both be switched at same time. So with the push/pull engaged, it would be

1 bridge inner (or outer depending on what I decide)
2 inner coils of both (so this position wouldn't really change)
3 neck inner (or outer depending on what I decide)

And then with the other push/pull, I want to bypass the tone and volume pot and send the bridge pickup directly to the output.

Any idea how I would wire this up?

thanks,

brian

Re: How to wire tone/volume bypass?


Ok, I think I figured something out.

Check this out:



Push/pull 1 is a coil cut switch that cuts both pickups simultaneously. The 4 pole 3 way switch is what came with the guitar.

This should work as

Push/pull 1 down*
1 Bridge series
2 Bridge series parallel w/ neck series
3 Neck Series

Push/pull 1 up*
1 Bridge north coil
2 Bridge north coil parallel w/ neck south coil
3 Neck south coil

And then push/pull 2 when pulled up should bypass the volume and tone controls sending the pickup outputs for each of the settings above straight to the output jack.

But I am not sure about this. Can anyone tell me if this will work?

thanks,

brian
