unclej Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 well i've wasted an hour on line this morning searching before i asked here...but...i've got a bright orange hendrick in here and the owner wants me to change the switching from a standard three way to a five way. the body is so thin that i don't have room to route out to facilitate any standard five way switch that i have..however, i do have a five way rotary switch that fits in the cavity without routing.. the only problem is i don't have a clue how to wire this puppy up..dimarzio used to have a schematic for it and there's even a link to it here in the tutorial section but it won't open. anyway, this is one of those mega-switches with 12 lugs in a circle and two lugs inside of those twelve. anyone have a link to a diagram?

marksound Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 (edited) Is that a PRS-type switch? http://www.prsguitars.com/csc/schematics.html How about this one? http://guitarelectronics.zoovy.com/product/WDUHH5R1101 Edited February 4, 2005 by marksound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclej Posted February 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 thanks..it's like a prs but it's only one layer and has fourteen lugs total. but that second schematic gave me an idea how to start..i think edited to say: oops..my bad..this is actually a 6way so i'm betting it's a varitone switch. which would explain why there's 12 lugs on the outside... but it still ought to work if i can figure out where to start.

lovekraft Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Get out your multimeter - all you gotta do is figure out which lug is common for each circuit, and you're good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Headen Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 What LK said. I bought a few rotary switches awhile back, and had no info on them. It's not to hard to figure them out with a multimeter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclej Posted February 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 hey..no fair! i'm old and i'm not supposed to have to think. actually i'm gonna do just that but then i'm going to order a four way rotary for this project and save this switch for when i might actually want six combinations. all i'm doing on this one is the regular three way switching for two pickups and then an out of phase option.
