Final Switching for 001: Details Inside :D

[imported_Bryan]

I finally decided on a switching set up today.
If you guys dont already know I'm running a pair of Dragons and a Barden in the middle with 5 way switching and 2 push pulls on the volume and tone. The volume is coil splitting and the tone activates the bridge. I did it this way because I wanted use the individual coils. The Dragons sound really nice as single coils and give the guitar a nice stratty vibe when split.

So heres the final settings and combos...Well until I try some Goodwoods, but thats not going to be for a while. As it is I really like what I'm hearing right now so i don't feel an urgent need to change them. It's more curiosity then anything else.

Well here it goes:

Push Pull 1 down - Push Pull 2 down
1. Bridge HB
2. Bridge HB & Middle
3. Middle
4. Neck HB & Middle
5. Neck HB

Push Pull 1 up - Push Pull 2 down
1. Bridge Slug Coil
2. Bridge Slug Coil & Middle
3. Middle
4. Neck Slug Coil & Middle
5. Neck Slug Coil

Push Pull 1 down - Push Pull 2 up
1. Bridge HB
2. Middle & Bridge HB
3. Middle & Bridge HB
4. Neck HB & Middle & Bridge HB
5. Neck HB & Bridge HB

Push Pull 1 up - Push Pull 2 up
1. Bridge Slug Coil
2. Middle & Bridge Slug Coil
3. Middle & Bridge Slug Coil
4. Neck Slug Coil & Middle & Bridge Slug Coil
5. Neck Slug Coil & Bridge Slug Coil

I find them all usable tones. The guitar has a killer sizzle to it split and becomes fuller but still retains note clarity in HB mode even when using a bit of gain. It's great to hear m7s 9chords ring clear through a good crunch tone.. :D

I'll be in the studio tomorrow night so I hope have something for you all to hear in the next few days.

That's a cool switching scheme Bryan! It's very interesting to see what other people do to achieve certain pickup combinations...thanks for sharing :)
