    This image/schematic IS NOT MINE, it is from jag-stang.com, created by Yun-Jinn Pequesso. This is merely to make my question easier to visualize. The diode clipping circuit is connected to the volume pot, for use as a saturation effect. So my original question was this: What effects will this same clipping circuit have on my sound if instead I connect it to the Tone Pot? Btw, Prostheta, thanks for the info and the lengthy response. Does your response still hold true for the above schematic?

    I am familiar with the results of adding a diode clipping circuit to a volume pot (ground) for saturation effects, but what are the results of putting a similar circuit onto the ground of a tone pot? As a sidenote, if I had any extras (appropriately rated diodes) lying around I would just test this out and post my findings if in fact those findings were post-worthy, but I don't have any here. I'm sure that anyone with advice knows what a clipping circuit is, and I would post a visual scheme of what setup I am referencing, but I the sim programs I have only export to strange formats unreadable on the web.

    Instead of wiring two Kill positions, why not use that extra position for the good of all mankind and wire the two humbuckers in series too? You could use that 5th position for a few other options too, including but not limited to a phase reversal (which I like particularly for recording purposes).

    Doesn't sound so bad now that I re-read that. Thanks!

    So it is not a matter of soldering new wires to the North/South Start/Finish poles? I just thought that I could pull the old wax from the pickups and rewire, but it isnt that easy?

    Having a 3-way selector for a 3 pickup guitar may not be ideal considering you would have to sacrifice some switching possibilities, unless of course you used push/pull pots which would give you more options. What is your setup? Is it two singlecoils and a humbucker?

    Stewart MacDonald Right-Angle 3-Way This may work.

    I'm running a 2 humbucker system on a project guitar, but the neck humbucker has only a single output wire, thus preventing any coil splitting or phase reversal for that pickup. Given that I know the north-south placement of the pickup magnets, what mods are necessary in order to get the full four-wire output which will allow me the switch possibilities that I need? As a sidenote, the bridge pickup is a Gibson build and follows their colorcode (North: Red-Start, White-Finish; South: Green-Finish, Black-Start), so the neck pickup should follow the same scheme.

    Thanks for your input, much appreciated. But I should have mentioned that it is a 6-terminal switch. Thanks again.

    For a 2-singlecoil system, I am running a 3-position on/on/on mini-toggle and I am curious if anyone knows exactly which poles are 'activated' (bad word choice, i know) for each of the 3 positions (neck, neck/bridge, bridge). Thanks
