HH 1 vol & 2 tones schematic?

[rdu3]

i have 2 p/p tone pots, a 5-way superswitch and 2 4-wire humbuckers sitting about and want to wire em up.

looking for a schematic that would show how to wire these up for a strat.

i know the 5-way will give me:
1. N
2. N SC
3. N & B
4. B SC
5. B


not sure if any series/OOP options with this but if it can be wired with these components i'll take it

does one lose much "tone[subjective]" when having N&B in parallel? if so, i probably wouldn't want that.

Hello and Welcome to G-Nutz2!

does one lose much "tone[subjective]" when having N&B in parallel? if so, i probably wouldn't want that.

Les Paul didn't think so, Gibson doesn't think so, and neither does virtually every other guitar maker, since that's the way 2 HBs are traditionally wired.

There are plenty of options with a Superswitch and 2 push pulls. I'll dig around in the basement and see what I can come up with.

Here's a few ideas, see if any of these float yer canoe:

JohnH's Strat HH- 16 sounds, no extra controls

ChrisK's Simple 2 Hum 5-way Switch mod

Fobits' "8 Tones From 2 Humbuckers" and Fobits' "The Big Fat Ten"

All of these use a Superswitch; some use one or more DPDT switches (which can be push/pull pots).

good links, cool. appreciate showing my erroneous assumption regarding parallel too.
