HH Super Switch Wiring

[PunchlineChar]

Hello all,

Was wondering if someone could provide a diagram for two humbuckers and a five way super switch. I have specific combinations I want and I'm not sure if they're possible.

I want these positions:
1. Bridge series
2. Both pickups
3. Neck series
4. Neck parallel
5. Neck outer coil

I'm thinking about putting a Lace Sensor Dually in the neck of my strat and want to have super flexible wiring to access strat tones along with the Duncan 78 in the bridge.

Any help is appreciated!

Superswitches come with wiring diagrams.

Im not entirely sure the Duallys are supposed to be wired in parallel and that it will do what you are expecting if they can be,

It seems that they have four conductor wiring; I've seen someone wire them to a Duncan triple shot ring so I think they can be wired like any other humbucker. My understanding is that they're just two lace sensors wired in series so I'd think the parallel mode would be not crazy dissimilar to position 4 on a lace loaded strat. Obviously them being right next to each other will alter that.

I did just shoot Lace an email to see if my thinking is correct on the wiring.

I ordered a lace gold dually off reverb; it looks to be standard four conductor wiring so it should be possible. Does anyone know of good resources so I can understand how to wire a superswitch?

Any help is appreciated!

There are numerous posts on this forum of Superswitch wiring. What you plan to do is possible.

Here is a particularly good resource for wiring, including how a superswitch works.

Without adding a series/parallel switch like you find in the Charvel DK24, it'd be.

1: Bridge humbucker in series

2: Outer coils in parallel (like a Tele)

3: Both humbucker in series

4: Neck humbucker in parallel (I'm not going to do inner coils unless they're out of phase like a strat)

5: Neck humbucker in series

Standard Strat wiring is not "out of phase". Eric Johnson likes to wire the neck pickup out of phase with the middle for a honking midrange (simulating electric sitar) when both pickups are on (4th position).
