  • 2hum: regular 3-way switch + push-pull for series/parallel

    I think i need a DPDT pickup switch to pull this off.

    Basically what i want is a regular 3-way switch for H/H (bridge, both, neck) and a push-pull to put both humbuckers in series instead of in parallel when the switch is in the middle position (both) ... anyone done this before?

    /* edit */ to clarify a bit more: the push-pull would put both pickups in series -with each other-, as opposed to the usual "coils in parallel" of each pickup.

    Right now my main idea is to make the push-pull do a regular series/parallel thing on the output of both pickups, and have the toggle switch short the opposite pickup's signal to ground when it's not in the middle position - hope this makes any kind of sense. Please excuse my wacko wiring ideas

      You mean cancel out the opposite pickup?


      Push pull is basically a pot with a 2-pos DPDT.

        Just checked about a dozen BCR diagrams, and they seem pretty standard, ie. both pickup inputs going to the sides of the switch, and the center (common) going to either the volume, boost circuit, or output.
