I am trying to make a circuit for a guitar that would be able to get every possible sound out of 3 "humbucker" pickups. it uses 3 4 pole 6-way rotary switches 3 volume controls that and tone control that is meant to be switchable from high pass to low pass. the tone control really seems that it would be a problem and hard to make it work and also would mixing a p90 pickup whit a humbucker work? here is the public schematic for it: https://easyeda.com/evalc2636/all-config-pickups |

With all those switches, you won't have time to play the guitar. :-DD Personally, I found the Stratocaster switch brilliant (in both senses). |

ok, so I updated the schematic, remove the middle pickup. put a WORKING tone control and did some other stuff. I want to make this circuit work whit only 2 rotary switch but that would probably mean having to put like a 20 way 8 pole switch in my guitar which wouldn't fit very well I think! https://easyeda.com/evalc2636/all-config-pickups |

Why not, Brian May had guitars with many switches, so you're not first. ;D (He even has a shop now, so you can take a look: https://shop.brianmayguitars.co.uk/ ) |
