I like the HHH a lot, it's an extremely versatile configuration.

With a 5-way super megapole switch and the S-1 system you can get everything from classic single-coil to crazy overdriven humbucking and so on. The 25dB mid-boost and a blower switch would make the HHH pickups a real tone monster.



i've ordered some push/pull pots to replace at least one tone control. i could put one for the vol too(s-1), maybe. i can already coil-split with the current superswitch. a single from the humbucker neck is ok sounding but the split on the bridge is not good for my ears at all. just a personal thing i guess.

i'm getting new 4-wire pups, so with the new p/p pups and superswitch i should be able to get series/parallel and single coils to start with and see where it takes my ears. i'm really hoping most of those opts sounds good to me with the new pups.

when i save some more money, putting another pup in the middle as you suggested i think would be a fun outcome. in the meantime i gotta keep doing what my teacher has in the lessons and get more confidence in my fingers and ears. ;-)

in your opinion, do these HH, HHH, HSH, strats really need two tone controls? i just never use em, keep em both on 10. i wouldn't mind just having one or none.

The Clapton circuit needs the two tone controls to drive the TBX tone expander and the MDX mid-boost preamp.

These controls can be optional.
