AT-1 + Chopper + Chopper Wiring Recommendations
« on: March 01, 2016, 03:10:18 PM »
As the title says, I'd like to read your recommendations for that particular setup (AT-1 in the bridge, Chopper in the middle and neck). I'll be using a 5 way switch and three 500k pots and two of them will be push-push, so I could implement almost any type of schematic.

Indeed - the equipment you have could give you endless possibilities. However, not all combinations are useful, and too many of them will make operation more difficult, especially when playing on stage.

I would go about it this way: think about what combinations you want/need, and then get the appropriate wiring schematic.

I have two SSH guitars with AT-1's,  two blade hum/singles and a 5way megaswitch each.
I wired them like this, with no splitting or parallel wiring of a single pickup involved:
Pos. 1 Bridge HB
Pos. 2 Bridge HB parallel middle blade HB
Pos. 3 Bridge HB parallel neck  blade HB
Pos. 4 midde blade HB
Pos. 5 neck blade HB
So I have the three Les Paul like sounds plus two Stratish ones.

Now if you use the Push/pull switches you could stratify the guitar even more, but I have no idea how good the Choppers split...

I don't either but I do know that they sound good in parallel.
