5 Way/hh/push Pull


RDub

Recommended Posts

I've been searching the usual sites to find a diagram, but doesn't seem to be anything out there. I just refinished an RG for a friend, and he want's a pickup swap, and a push pull pot added. I've got my choice of a 3 way switch, and coil tap with the push pull, or I can use the original Ibanez 5 way switch. I've found diagrams for both seperate, but I'd like to see some options for the 5 way switchAND the push pull pot. Trying to accomplish having the normal neck/both/bridge in the 1, 3 and 5 positions, but there's got to be a way to get single coil sound and out of phase sounds out of this configuration, but my brain doesn't seem to want to work right now. Anybody got any ideas?????

What settings are you aiming for?

1: neck humbucker

2: neck coilsplit

3: neck humbucker +bridge humbucker

4: bridge coilsplit

5: bridge humbucker

something like that?

I don't think this is all possible using just a regular 5-way switch. Though I think its highly possibly to get this arrangement using a 5-way SUPERSWITCH (stewmac sells them). OR you can use a regular 3-way switch along with a push-pull pot. Which would yield something like this..

Push-Pull OFF

1: neck humbucker

2: neck + bridge humbucker

3: bridge humbucker

Push-Pull ON

1: neck coilsplit

2: neck coilsplit + bridge coilsplit

3: bridge coilsplit

And are you also looking for out of phase as well? If so then you probably need a 2ND push pull pot/switch.

Yeah, Ive got diagrams for bothof those configs. Just looking for options with the 5way/p-p. You've sparked an idea though. I'll probably pick up onother p-p pot, and do the the first setup, with p-p being phase switches. Thanks for the inspiration.
