Six way toggle switch

Question

Posted

I just saw this in Stewmacs latest catalogue http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Electronics,_pickups/Components:_Switches_and_knobs/Free-Way_Pickup_Switch.html

Whilst I dearly love the sound and feel of my Monaco III, the rotary pickup selector is a nightmare on stage for me, and probably the main reason I don't gig very often with it. Would anyone on this forum be able to do a wiring diagram for this switch on the Monaco III, with hopefully the sixth position being all three pickups on; also has anybody had experience using this six way toggle on the Jimmy Page Les Paul model ? is it finicky to use, easy to knock out of position when playing etc. ?

Regards Jaberwock

Wouldn't a push/push pot that pulls in the bridge pickup accomplish the same thing with less grief?

I remember a recent thread where there was a group buy happening with Murkat.

So maybe there's a wiring diagram floating around somewhere ?

I find the rotary switch really difficult to use, it requires finger, and thumb operation, which is difficult while holding a pick.

Wiring diagram is in a PDF at the bottom of this page.

Their diagram has all combinations other than the all-on you requested.

Hmm. That might be just the thing my Firebird Vii needs.

Many thanks, you're a scholar, and a gentleman.
