Mad Switching Ideas wanted!!!


My wayward "come home to daddy" UV has now been christened gimp and is staying. But to stay it needs to stand out from the other one, and thus it has been decreed that it is time to find out exactly what one can do with a breadboard, some wires, two push/pull pots and a VLX91 5 way switch.

So basically, I have 2 push pull pots that in combination with the 5way switch should be able to give me 15 or 20 options for pickup configurations.

Now, I would like to keep the existing combination there if both push pull pots are disengaged, but when one or either is up/down then it's time to go mad!

As well as that,any suggestions for pickup configurations that sound cool are welcome, in fact needed! I can pretty much go through most combinations, but a lot of them are going to sound samey, which is of not much use.

Another thing few things are:
1)what pickup configurations does the JPM use? I'd like that config as well.
2)Out of phase pickup wiring, what does it sound like? Is it usable, or just a novelty wiring?
3)Placing pickups in series, I've never done this before and don't know what it sounds like.

Also, I'd like to hear from anyone who's decided to do something like this before, maybe for hints on which components are better suited to my mission, and any hints and tips. Also if anyone knows of any monster switches that have more than 4 independant plates, then that's be appreciated too (although it's maybe a bit overkill )

Mad wiring diagrams to give me inspiration would also be much appreciated!

Cheers for any help in advance!

James

oh, if I do get it all working I suppose I'll have to post an wiring diagram as well
