iluvcrap2000 Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 While I was noodling around with a LP Standard, noticed that When on pure bypass I was able to select two modes, the twin coil output and a single coil when split is this normal? as I haven't read that it's capable of this. thanks.
capmaster Posted January 20, 2016 Posted January 20, 2016 Yes, this is normal. When pulled, the output of the bridge PU volume push/pull switch will be directly connected to the output jack's hot leg. Since toggle switch and controls have to be bypassed, too, there's no option of also bypassing the coil split switch using a DPDT switch. This would take a 4PDT switch, not available in push/pull or push/push pots.

Perhaps my post was unclear, I meant to say exactly that. The bypass switch cannot bypass the coil split switch. It would have to be a four-pole double throw switch.
