Hey there,
I could really need some help on a switching issue.
My dad has this modded 1979 american fender that has 3 mini toggle switches. The toggles have up / mid / down.
On upper position, the pickup's are in phase
On the mid position the pickup is off
On down position the pickup is out of phase
My dad would like to keep the mini toggles as the work now, but also wants to have a working 5 way switch.
We have some connection questions.
1: The 5 way switch is not connected at all. What could the 5 way switch do in this configuration and how to wire it?
2: The tonepots are connected, but not working properly. Any thoughts are welcome. They are 250K
We were discussing the use of the 5 way switch, but we are clueless.
It would be great to use the 5 way switch as normal, and keep the in and out of phase option from the mini toggle switches.
There is thought, that if it would be possible to add condensators to the 5 way switch like #1: 2.2nF, #2: 6.8nF, #3: 10nF, #4:15nF, #5: 22nF, so when switching the tone would be effected. That would be great, but would it work?
There are no schematics of this mini toggle build, so based on the actual wiring connections I hope that someone here has any thoughts.
Thnx
