Re: Help understanding toggle switches??? Custom pickup switching.

Would you be willing to settle for middle+others in the Center position of the mini-toggle (instead of Down)? That would simplify it a lot: you'd only need a three-position SPDT normally-closed switch, the Les Paul type. Or any other functionally compatible type like your blade. It would be a tradi...

Using old TS9 housings/switches for builds?

Not sure where to post this, but I’ve got a number of old TS9 boxes from when I used to rehouse them and convert them to TB for people. Lately I’ve been wondering if I could use these to build some overdrives and house them in, but also use the original switches. Would I need to build a buffer to us...
