I have 2 push pull pots in my guitar. Previously I had them for individual coil splits, but I changed the bridge bucker a while back for one that was 2 conductor, so the bridge coil split (on the tone pot) now does nothing.

My guitar is set up - H/H 1vol 1tone 3 way.

The neck is 4 conductor and the bridge is 2

Atm, the middle position is out of phase I think (well it deffinately sounds it). Could I have the pot to pull up for series push down for three way? Kill switch? Bypass straight to bridge bucker full volume tone? Any other mods?

Cheers in advance

I've thought anout using one to switch a pup in and out of phase.

Would that work for the bridge pup it being only two conductor?

I'm a wiring n00b.. I thought that was what the four conductor versions were for :/

I think so but I'm not shure. I just looked at the schematic on the SD site and it looks like you can.

Phase switching only requires two wires. You reverse the hot and ground. You only need 4 wires for parallel and splitting.

You could pretty much do any of those things you asked about. Its just a matter of wiring it up correctly.

Right so everything except splitting and parallel wiring will work?

Right, I'll have to have a think about what I wanna do and then come back for schematics in a bit

Cool. But I may be slow. Its been a rough day, and I gotta go back and work on the ship again tomorrow. Saturday!

Be patient grasshopper.

Sure you can. I'll show you how if you don't mind waiting 'til tomorrow. I'm just dead tired right now.

Ok, I'm not saying this is practical, its just how you'ld do it:
Up for tone, down for volume. Also, you can't preset one, and go to the other. When it's a tone control, volume would be at quot;10quot;. When its a volume control, tone would be at quot;10quot;. More actually, in both cases. When its a tone, there is no volume, and vice-versa.

I think phase switches are useless...who wants mosquito tone? Not me...

If your pickups are out of phase fix the wiring!

Then, if your neck pickup is a four conductor, I'd use one switch to make it a single coil and the other switch to switch it from series to parallel. That'll give you some nice clear rythym tones from the neck pickup.
