Gretsch style "mud switch"

[EsquireEsque]

Rear mount slide switch(es) can certainly be done, as long as you don’t want to do any quick changes while playing.

If you decide to use a pot and a switch, then 3-way switches (mini or large toggle) can give you your clean and two different ‘mud’ options (half-way down this post gives you a few ways to do it).

For a single pot only layout, then a push/pull is your best option. Get some clip leads, a range of caps and resistors, and test until you find the sound you want.

Hi, thanks.

I think if I use resistors and a push/pull - then the tapering will be inconsistent.... that sort of kills the idea.

That is a very well done (and far more complicated) example of what I was thinking for the back switch...

AS to the build itself...... wow! It would seem you've done this before....
