Hey Friends,
Getting around to assembling my Fender Lead project and have decided to go with the classic two switch control scheme. The first will be a three way toggle between the positions (H-S if anyone was curious), but the second 2 way switch is pretty up in the air.
What do ya'll think? I've had a kill switch on a guitar before and it was fun for live use. I think the Split for the Humbucker might not work with the one I chose as it's pretty low output. I had phase on my original Lead and although I did find uses for the sound I wouldn't say it's something I'd use all the time. Series/Parallel is new territory for me.
What say ye?!

Splitting the humbucker seems to be the most useful for me, so that's what I went with. I initially thought that a killswitch could be cool, but in practicality I don't think I've ever actually needed one. I can just step on my tuner or turn the volume knob down if I need to be quiet.

Re: Extra Switch Usage Poll for my Lead Project
I tended to use it more for on/off trem style effects on my last guitar. I think its proximity to the other switch on this guitar might make that more difficult, though.adamrobertt wrote: ↑Mon Aug 19, 2019 1:42 pmSplitting the humbucker seems to be the most useful for me, so that's what I went with.

Basically, the Jaguar strangle switch. Which gets you a different version of 'bright' tone than a bridge pickup. The classic Dick Dale surf sound is probably the Jag neck pickup with the high pass filter on. It's also awesome for cleaning up a muddy sound when using thick fuzz pedals and stuff.
