![]() In the center position, it sounds exactly the same as it would with both pickups selected. Instead, I have one of the pots set up as a blend knob with a center detent. It's never made sense to me, the standard Les Paul quad. One other comment - I hate playing with volume knobs in this situation. ![]() In addition, you can flick one or more switches in a single gesture, so it's a LOT faster to work with. Further, you can do the switching without ever affecting the rotary setting on a knob. I prefer these to coil taps for live work because you can glance down and know exactly where you're set. I've got this on several of my guitars and I've done both the phase switch and the two coil taps (each pickup individually) with mini-switches (involves Drilling Holes Into Your Guitar!). ![]() You can do this with a push-pull and a wiring change, and it's fairly simple and easily undone that way if you're doing a "trial run." If you change the volume on one or the other of the pickups, the sound moves away from that nasally sound toward that of the pickup with the volume left up, but there are still elements of it there, and you get some very cool sounds out of it. This usually produces a nasally, trebly sound if you have both pickups' volume levels exactly the same. If you have both pickups selected, a phase switch will put the two pickups out of phase. ![]()
