Tyring to get the hang of mini-switches.

O1 O2
O3 O4
O5 O6

That's a DPDT toggle switch On/On/On I have, where the middle position connects 2-4 and 3-5 simultaneously.

I wired it for a single single humbucker, wanting to make it cut one half of the humbucker in one position, be normal in the middle position, and activate the bridge in the last position.

I connected 4 to the bridge tab of the pickup switch, and 6 to the input of the Volume Pot.
I hooked the Positive North humbucker wire to 5, and the South humbucker to 2... wiring 2, 3, and 4 together as well.

The result was in the up position it activated the bridge no matter what the pickup switch was on, the middle brang it back to normal, and the bottom should have cut out the North part of the Humbucker(I was unable to test this one though).

I have a question though. In order to make it work right I had to create 2 master Tone controls(giving each its own unique capacitor so it wouldn't be pointless)... Would it be possible to have it do the same thing, only have the standard 2 separate tone controls?[/url][/quote]

Well I figured it out. I just wired the bottom two to the bridge tab on the pickup switch, and the top two to the volume pot, and the two humbucker +'s to the middle two.

This gave me a normal setting on up, one always on half of the humbucker on the middle position, and the full always on humbucker on the bottom setting... The weird thing i think: with the active settings, if the switch were in the neck position only the neck tone knob controls both the bridge and neck.
