Members Phait Posted September 28, 2010 Members Share Posted September 28, 2010 So in my 14 years of playing I just now stumbled upon this. Turn your mid/neck tone (or was it both tone knobs, can't remember) down so the sound is muddy. When you play a note, flick back and forth the toggle switch from 1 to 5. See if you can get down a flicking technique while playing - it's fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaleH Posted September 28, 2010 Members Share Posted September 28, 2010 Sounds like alot of wear and tear on the switch. Mine is 10 years old and I would like it to last another 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the Middle PU tone knob in traditional Neck Tone, Middle Tone vitnage Strat wiring.Neck and Bridge PU's stay unmuted, or it doesn't work. It's an old Hendrix thing.But I won't think it sounds like a wah.Danny Gatton (and others, including..supposedly... a pre-solo Hendrix) got faux wah tones by using a high value tone cap (.1uF) and turning the Tone knob.
