This could be done depending on the circuit topology used in the PI2.
If there are two signals; a buffered one and its inversion with the appropriate one being selected by the EMG switch (a SPDT), then a SPDT Center-OFF could be used with no signal being conveyed in OFF.
If there is a buffer and a selectable inverter/non-inverter stage, with the mode being selected by the EMG switch (a SPST), one pole could be used for this and the other pole could be used for the coupling of the common output (SPDT Center-OFF as above).
Easy is directly related to what's known. After all, any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
One (not me) would have to procure (a fancy word for buy/get) a PI2 and trace the circuit. EMG will not publish the schematic since that would mean that it's not magic.
No, other than a brief lapse of judgment that led to my procuring a DG-20 kit a few years ago during a GC clearance sale, I've no great interest in their stuff. I built the
The MellowCaster Project, but haven't yet brought myself to the point of putting a battery in it.
Pssst, anyone interested in a DG-20 set?
That being said, since it isn't magic, one could ascertain the operation fairly easily.
The instructions indicate the number of connections.
www.emginc.com/content/wiringdiagrams/EMG-Pi2_r0230-0017A.pdfThe picture shows 6 terminals used on the embedded toggle switch.
www.emginc.com/products/category/143It would appear that the green output wire is connected to one of the switch poles and is switched from either the input signal to an inverted signal, or from a buffered input signal to an inverted signal.
Either way, a DPDT Center-OFF could do the same, with the output being disconnected in the Center-OFF position.
No guarantees; this is an educated observation.
Since you're replacing a DPDT with a DPDT Center-OFF, if you rewire it exactly the same, things will work exactly the same except in the middle (unknown) position. ;D ;D
Hmmm, that's a firm maybe............
;D
Don't you have to fiddle before you can refiddle?
