Strange Fruit Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Hey Firstly, try a quick search, been discussed a few times before http://projectguitar.ibforums.com/index.ph...wtopic=6514&hl= I think that is the better one Read through it, it trells you a lot about what you need to know.

Andreas Posted May 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 I dont have time now to read the thread..I have to go. From what I saw it should be an on/on DPDT. I want it as a bypass switch for a circuit im working on..I found info that show how it should be wired but I want to know how it works so as to understand better.

jammy Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 If it acts like a les paul type switch.... In diagram A poles 1 and 2 will be connected, as will poles 4 and 5 In diagram B poles 3 and 2 will be connected, as will poles 6 and 5 think of the centre poles as a common, when the switch is switched these are connected to the ones either side, and which side depends on which position the switch is in... Some smaller switches operate in a different way... EG when in A poles 2 and 3 would be connected, as would 5 and 6. And vica versa. The only way to find out for sure it to get out a multimeter and test the resistance between poles when the switch is in different positions, no resistance means they are connected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andreas Posted May 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 ah thanks Jammy I suspected that from the circuit itself but I needed reasurance. If you saw the topic before about the humbuckers with rotary and the booster Im now modifying that to do a sustainer circuit with a booster that each can be activated individualy and/or together. The sustainer is from this site... http://members.shaw.ca/roma/sustain.html As soon as I finish it Im going to post it for all of you to check it out.
