Members wkrantz7 Posted March 16, 2010 Members Share Posted March 16, 2010 I have a Joe Barden Two-Tone HB that has an interesting configuration that allows it to truely transform into an S-Deluxe single coil pickup. I'm not sure that coil tap is the proper term for this humbucker. The wiring config is here: http://www.joebarden.com/Products/Wiring-Diagrams/HBandHBTT.pdf The problem I'm having is that the wiring diagram shows a DPDT switch with 6 terminals. I went to Radio Shack and could only find large toggle DPDT switches, rather than the pushbutton on/off switch I am looking for. The only pushbutton switches I could find were SPST, had fewer terminals (2 or 3), and didn't stay pushed down when turned on (they would return to the initial position whenever clicked). I'm looking for a button that will stay down when clicked on, so I know for sure whether its on or off, and one that will fit with the wiring of the Joe Barden Two-Tone. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Members tlbonehead Posted March 16, 2010 Members Share Posted March 16, 2010 I have TwoTones and mine are only tappable, not splittable as well. Were these custom made, or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the two tone is not custom, its a typical two tone. I'm just looking for suggestions for pushbutton on/off switches that will fit the wiring diagram of a Two Tone. What do you tap yours with?

What do you tap yours with?the ones I still have I use push-pull pots, separate on each pickup. My other two sets that I used to have I just used a mini-toggle.
