There are two "groups" of switches: (SW4, SW5, SW6) -and- (SW1, SW2, SW3)
The first group of switches (SW1, SW2 and SW3) are ON-OFF-ON switches used to turn an individual pickup coil Off and On. The middle position of each switch is Off. The down position turns the pickup On (in normal-phase) and the Up position turns the pickup on (in reverse-phase).
(coil-1 is the south-most coil, coil-2 is the middle coil, coil-3 is the north-most coil)
SW1 controls pickup coil-1
SW2 controls pickup coil-2
SW3 controls pickup coil-3
When you use these three switches (with SW4, SW5, SW6 all in the Down position), you get 13 different pickup tones from the combinations of three pickup coils being Off or On (either in normal-phase or in reverse-phase). It is also due to the combination of the pickup coils being in a Parallel circuit.
The second group of switches (SW4, SW5 and SW6) are ON-ON switches are used to put select pickups into a Series circuit.
Two things to remember when using this second group of switches:
First, putting two or three pickup coils in Series circuit creates a "Compound" (i.e., Humbucker) pickup that gives you about 8 to 15 percent More output (think Heavy Metal/Jazz tone).
Second, because ALL the pickup coils are in a Series circuit, those coils MUST be On (either in normal-phase or reverse-phase). Any non-Series circuit pickup coil can be either Off or On (either in normal-phase or reverse-phase).
Using the Second Group of Switches
Starting with switches SW4, SW5 and SW6 in the Down position;
Put switch SW4 in the Up position and coil-1 plus coil-2 are in a Series circuit. You MUST turn On both coils using switches SW1 and SW2 (either in normal-phase or reverse-phase) to hear any sound. In this example, pickup coil-3 (controlled by SW3) can be either Off or On (in normal-phase or reverse-phase).
Put switch SW5 in the Up position and coil-1 plus coil-3 are in a Series circuit. You MUST turn On both coils using switches SW1 and SW3 (either in normal-phase or reverse-phase) to hear any sound. In this example, pickup coil-2 (controlled by SW2) can be either Off or On (in normal-phase or reverse-phase).
Put switch SW6 in the Up position and coil-2 plus coil-3 are in a Series circuit. You MUST turn On both coils using switches SW2 and SW3 (either in normal-phase or reverse-phase) to hear any sound. In this example, pickup coil-1 (controlled by SW1) can be either Off or On (in normal-phase or reverse-phase).
Put both switches SW4 and SW6 into the Up position and all three pickup coils are in a Series circuit. You MUST turn On ALL of the pickups using switches SW1, SW2 and SW3 (either in normal-phase or reverse-phase) to hear any sound. This gives you an incredible overdriven bass sound in spades.
