Greetings from Germany! I am working on a new wiring using a Megaswitch M. Maybe someone can help? Here's what i would like to accomplish: 1 - N 2 - N + C2 3 - N + B 4 - N x (B + C3) 5 - B I`ve seen a related wiring here or on tdpri, but can`t seem to find it anymore. Deaf Eddie has this diagram . In my wiring experiment, this combination for pos.4 sounded best: Since there are so many different diagrams available i would like to go for a layout utilizing the fender superswitch. I want to understand the signal path first and will figure out the corresponding lugs later. I want to use only a few wires, since soldering the Megaswitch requires almost surgical precision. Any suggestions are appreciated! Thanks mh

So, which is it?
Te Deaf Eddie diagram can be a starting point,you just have to swap the wiring for positions 3 and 4 on the "B" lug of the Superswitch to give you N + B in parallel at position 3, with the series at position 4. Then, you need to add C3 at position 4. Since the Superswitch (assuming that's what you are using has an unused pole, you can simply use that to wire the cap across the bridge pickup.

Dear newey,
thanks for your reply and the advice.
I wanted to say, that i will be using the Megaswitch on the guitar, but for a better understanding of the wiring i would prefer a diagram of the superswitch.

Almost. Move the purple wire connection from D4 to D3. D4 should be Empty.
I would rather not use the switch frame as a ground point for that cap. Probably won't make much difference in practice, but not really best practice to depend on shields to carry signals.

Thanks ashcatlt for the correction and hint. I tried another drawing with a slightly different approach. This variation looks neat and more logical to me. Would this work as intended?

Great! Thank you guys for your time and expertise. I hereby send you a virtual handshake + a slice of homemade cheese cake! Now i have to find a useful conversion for the new Megaswitch M. Things can be confusing... Eyb says: "Mount the Megaswitch with the pcb facing the centre of the instrument." (In the german version: "...facing the strings"). If i do so, it doesn't match with his tutorial. But nonetheless - i will find a way! So long!!!

it should then just be rotated 180 degrees from the diagram, so you can redraw it that way.
