Thread: I have no idea what I am doing (Warning Rotary Switches Ahead)

  1. #11
    Alright, so I've finished the wiring scheme. It allows me to swap between a stereo output (bridge and neck in either combo) and a mono output. I may be removing some features pending how well I can handle the parts when I select their size.


    One thing I can think of that I have a question about; is there going to be any practical problem of soldering the tone before the volume? The tones still seem to operate separately when running a mono output as well, which is awesome...

    Don't worry about the switch diagrams, I couldn't find a better way to lay them out and they're terrible to view, but they work as intended.

    So in total that's 4 mini pots, 1 rotary, and one (or two) tiny switch. Here's hoping we are all good for space. I may end up swapping the final switch for two push pulls.

    Actually, I decided I am going to use two concentric pots instead of the 4 minis. This means I will be able to adjust both channels of tone and volume at the same time. Just need to find the knobs and the pots.

    ... Rotary switch doesn't fit.

    Is there an alternative way to do this? Or does anyone know of any particular brand that is compact?

    EDIT: I managed to find a compact 2P4T rotary switch. Would I damage anything by having the ground "pole" on a simple toggle switch? Or would I just have an open circuit if it was in the wrong position?

    Otherwise, I can have two 2P4Ts turn simulatenously.

    Could someone give me a hand working out how to wire this when they get the chance?

    2p4t (up to 2x). Single 4 conductor humbucker pickup. Looking 4 positions: North, Series, Parallel, South.

    It's really messing with me and unfortunately I don't have hours to sink into it while I have to research how each switch works again..
