4 way with push pull cocked wah help

.

I tried it on a humbucker guitar and there are not enough switch tabs to make it work.

However, I hard wired the Arlo cocked wah to the bridge humbucker (for distortion), and turning the tone knob darker gets the pickup back to normal tone for cleaner blues. So it's useful that way.

I used the p/p down to give the neck humbucker single coil, up gives both coils in parallel for strat quack. You need to lower the pickup and raise the screw poles for that. I used a strat stagger pattern.

I only put p/p on tone pots, since volume pots take more abuse.

Here you go...

EDIT: sorry, I just used a random 4-way order that I had on hand. If you want it differently ordered, and need help, just holler.

 

I was REALLY reluctant to click on this thread!!!

 

But you just couldn't resist...

 

Ha! I don't see any easy additions to this, if that's what you mean.


Of course, you can always add a treble bleed...

I can't comment on the Arlo values. I've wired that general circuit for myself, but only played it briefly, some years ago.

 

You can connect N+ anywhere along that blue wire.

In a series 4-way, there aren't enough throws to connect everything the normal way. So, N+ is hardwired to hot, and all the switching is done to N–. Keep in mind that this makes for a noise situation in position 1, when Bridge is active, and all the neck pickup metal is just laying in the guitar, ungrounded. The fix, which I almost never see anyone do, is to connect the two neck leads together, shorting the pickup. It's the reason the long blue wire goes through bottom lug #1.

That should give you something to think about...

 

Vol - Tone - Switch, or

Tone - Vol - Switch

 

What do you mean by top-mid-bottom? Neck-mid (parallel) -bridge? What about the series setting?

Vol-tone-switch just involves sliding the switch to the right on the diagram. No circuit change. Unless you want the switch positions re-ordered...

 

Got it. Tonight, when I finish up in the shop...

 

Here ya go. Same as the first one, just moved the switch over.
