dope_maggot Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 I own a Ibanez RG270 and recently decided to change pickups and rewire the whole thing adding some DPTP switches, to get a more flexible setup. I have 3 hums in my guitar: # BRIDGE PICKUP: Duncan Designed® HB-103B Humbucking Pickup # MIDDLE PICKUP: HotRails from Seymour Duncan # NECK PICKUP: Duncan Designed® HB-103N Humbucking Pickup I haven't been able to find any H-H-H schemes at Ibanez site. I found a couple of schematics while googling, but non of them use DPTP switches to play with the pickups. My electronics are down to basics, thats why I'll need some help. =S I bought the wiring hardware already, having this scheme in mind: http://static.zoovy.com/img/guitarelectron.../wdu_hhh5l11_01 I believe this scheme suites perfectly all pickup combination needs, I just would like to add the 2 DPTP switches, so I'm able to switch my coils between serial & parallel. But I need help modding the scheme. =S I am using this switch: http://guitarelectronics.zoovy.com/c=i1rXN...P/product/SWL54 Thanks in advance for the help! =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 you would only need one dpdt switch for series/parallel. you could use the other for phasing. heres a diagram, dont know where you'd put it in your schematic though. maybe someone else can help with that bit diagram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I had seen these DPTP diagrams... but this basically shows you, how to use the DPTP to switch series/parallel in a single pickup. And since I'm using a 3 pickup scheme, I need to do a work around, to use only 2 DPTP's to switch the whole thing... Apparently it can be done building a scheme that uses one DPTP for 2 of the pickups, and the remaining would control just one. In my case, I would use one for the neck and bridge, and the remaining one for the middle pickup. The problem here, is that the schematics do get a bit more complex when combining one switch for 2 pickups. So... that why I'm doomed by my poor electronic knowledge. =S HEHEHE... Help... anyoneee??? ='( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooglebug Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 i would have thought that if you wanted to use the switch for two pickups you'd just put the two pickups to the switch as it is - ie: instead of the one pickup as shown in the diagram, two would be there, with the correspondig wires from each going to the same place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
