HH 2V 5-Way with Parallel Middle and Weird Knob Control

[stateofepicicity]

Is this configuration is possible?

Two humbuckers with Duncan color codes.
5-Way superswitch
Two volume controls, no tone

Position 1: Bridge Series, controlled by bridge position volume
Position 2: Bridge Parallel, controlled by neck position volume
Position 3: Bridge Parallel in parallel with Neck Parallel, controlled by neck position volume
Position 4: Neck Parallel, controlled by neck position volume
Position 5: Neck Series, controlled by bridge position volume

I don't think this is possible with just the four poles on a super switch, but I wonder if I'm missing something. Thanks in advance!

My Reasoning:

You guys made possible my current wiring, and it has been great for me, except the middle position. I use the parallel configuration for each humbucker to approximate Strat single coil tones, but these are of course more mid-rangey than an actual single-coil, so I compensate with my rig to scoop mids and pull off authentic sounding Strat and P90 tones.  I switch from bridge parallel to neck parallel, and it sounds natural and great, very Strat-like.  Now if I switch to my current middle position, a quack tone of bridge inner / neck outer, the tone becomes bright because of the high mids I've boosted with my rig; replacing this with bridge parallel in parallel with neck parallel would make this position sound much more natural in that position.  My other guitar allows for this, with an LP 3-way toggle plus two mini switches for series / parallel per pickup, and I now know from experimence that works better for me.

I'm also trying to change the logic of what which volume knob controls.  I'd like the bridge position volume to control series humbuckers positions and the neck position volume knob to control parallel positions; this just makes more sense for my playing style.

I keep trying to make this happen on paper, but my guess is that I'd just need more poles!

I know I could simplify this by assigning each humbucker to its own volume knob; that would allow the middle position to work with blendable volume for each pickup, LP style. But what I'd like to do is really to assign one of the volume knobs as a master volume control for the middle position to simplify this. I recognize the power of dialing in the middle position with with volume knobs on an LP, but that also is not a fast option. I'm trying to optimize for quick switching while playing; I can quickly set a volume knob with an ideal treble bleed to the right position for the tone of the moment, but dialing in two different pickups to blend perfectly with optimal output to the front of the amp on the fly? That doesn't work for my style.

Lastly, I'm working on a contingency if I can't get this to work. I'll just set a different tone in my rig for quack only, something where my settings are optimized for the brightness of this one setting. It's nice to have a decent approximation of a good Strat quack now, but I was just hoping to keep all of my bullcrap Strat tones similar to each other while maintaining my weird wiring preferences.

Just at first blush, having taken no detailed look at this, I think you're right, you'd need more poles. Everything is doable up until you start reassigning the volume controls.

You might be able to do this with a push/pull on each volume, to swap the pots around. We'd have to take a look at that if you wanted to go that way, but it is admittedly more "switchy" to get the vol pots you want.

IIRC, at one time you could custom-order an 8-pole 5-way switch from EYB/Schaqller. I don't know if those are still available or not, and my understanding was that the cavity sidewall had to be modified a bit to get that sucker in there. But that woould do it, I would think.

Thanks newey. Man, it's funny you mentioned an 8 pole from EYB, because I was just looking at their site to try to find anything more than 4 poles. I even looked at the weirdly specific logic of the truth tables the kind soul posted here for the Freeway switches. I found a five way 6 pole rotary on Amazon, but rotaries are also bad for quick switching during a performance, in my book.

I don't really mind in concept a push pull or push push, which would simplify this greatly, but I'm stuck on the idea of sealed pots, and you can't get those in guitar pot shaft sizes with a switch attached. Right now I'm using the Dunlop Super Pots, and I love that they're built with the intention that you should never have to clean them.

Man, with all the stipulations I put on things, it's a wonder I get anything done. Story of my life.
