Circuit MP3

A Megaswitch M enables five different combinations with series and parallel connections:

1. Bridge humbucker coils in series

2. Bridge humbucker coils parallel

3. Both in parallel (coils in series)

4. Neck split humbucker, coils parallel

5. Neck split humbucker, coils in series

 

 

Switching functions

 

 MP-3A
