Hello folks,
I thought of a configuration that uses most of the pickups' combinations.
I'll be having:
Neck : Dimarzio D Activator X neck
Middle : Dimarzio Chopper
Bridge : Dimarzio D Activator X neck
I though of using a superswitch (24 lugs) with 500K 2 push/pulls and the configuration will be like that:
From Bridge > A B C D E F >> to Neck
*Volume Pot is for Humbucker/Single.
*Tone Pot is for Series/Parallel.
1. V down /T down : Humbucker / Series - as normal for humbuckers = normal position. In positions 2 and 4 : coils from two adjacent pups, in series. (Normal H S H guitar setting in Series)C
Pos1: A & B in Series
Pos2: B & C in Series
Pos3: C & D in Series
Pos4: D & E in Series
Pos5: E & F in Series
2. V up /T down : Single/
Forced Parallel - there's only one coil selected at a time on this setting, so there's no series - because series
wiring needs at least two coils - so, 5 single coil sounds. This configuration is Just useful in Pos1, Pos3 and Pos5 to get Strat like sound
Pos1: A in Parallel
Pos2: B in Parallel
Pos3: C in Parallel
Pos4: D in Parallel
Pos5: E in Parallel
3. V down /T up : Humbucker / Parallel In setting 3, it includes all parallel combos of adjacent coils, so positions 2 and 4 are a bit like those on a Strat, being a single from each of two pups (Normal H S H guitar setting in Parallel)
Pos1: A & B in Parallel
Pos2: B & C in Parallel
Pos3: C & D in Parallel
Pos4: D & E in Parallel
Pos5: E & F in Parallel
4. V up / T up : Single / Parallel - its the same as setting number 2
What do you think ? I think with this configuration, I may be able to get many possible sounds.
