    Re: Does this electronic diagram make sense to you

    Cool stuff. For the pickup selector, if you haven't already purchased the DPDT switch, you can use a SPST (single pole/double throw) switch instead.

    Or just wire all the connections to one side - you're doing extra work with those jumpers across the poles.

    Everytime I build an amp, I measure the components and place them on the chassis to make sure everything is going to fit. Here lately I've just started using bigger chassis so it's not such a problem to shoehorn stuff in. Oh, and I use adobe illustrator and I just have all my major components already drawn up, or can draw them in just a few minutes.

      Not really, since the on/on/on configuration of this switch isn't symmetric..... let's say we number the pins like this:

      1 4
      2 5
      3 6

      then in the up and down positions, it behaves like a 2-position dpdt, ie. up == 2/3 and 5/6 shorted, down == 1/2 and 4/5 shorted.... but in the middle position, 1/2 and 5/6 are shorted.
