Megaswitch E Plus
You can use Megaswitch E+ for the following switching positions:
HSH5
This is a variation of the HSH4 switching system. The positions 1, 2, 4 and 5 are as usual and in position 3, both Humbuckers are switched parallel. This results in a fuller, louder sound than splitting. A buzz-free sound can be obtained in all positions; the following magnetic polarity is required - NS-S-SN or SN-N-NS. The Megaswitch E+ is ideal for this purpose.
Connections:
Positions
1 bridge humbucker
2 bridge outer coil and mid parallel
3 both humbuckers parallel
4 mid and neck outer coil parallel
5 neck humbucker
Connections
1 mid hot wire
2 neck hot wire outer coil
3 output
4 ground
5 neck hot wire inner coil and cold wire outer coil
6 -
7 bridge cold wire outer coil and hot wire inner coil
8 to 9, bridge hot wire outer coil
9 to 8, bridge hot wire outer coil
ground: 4, mid cold wire, both innere humbucker coils cold wires
__________
HS2
This switching system is for guitars with a Humbucker on the bridge and a single coil on the neck. It allows the humbucker to be split while the outer coil remains active. The inner one is short-circuited . If a buzz-free sound is desired in position 3, the magnetic polarity must be NS-S or SN-N. A Megaswitch E+ is required here.

HS3
This switching system is for guitars with a Humbucker on the bridge and a single coil on the neck and allows the Humbucker to be split while the inner coil remains active. The outer coil is short-circuited. When a buzz-free signal is required in position 3, brummfrei sein soll, the magnetic poliarity must be either NS-N or SN-S. A Megaswitch E+ is required here.

SH2
This switching system is for guitars with a single coil on the bridge and a Humbucker on the neck. The Humbucker can be split while the outer coil remains active. The inner coil is short-circuited. The Megaswitch E+ is ideal for this purpose. Position 3 is buzz-free when the magnetic polarity is configured as follows: S-SN or N-NS.
