    Sterling switch upgrade tuning/change

    Hi guys, I wonder..., well just one technical question:



    This is official switch diagram for Sterling HS models (4 & 5), and there is one position that I would like to personalize to myself, after warranty is gone of course, 'cause it's not useful to me much!

    It's marked with red, I'm talking about position that switch coils 2+3.

    Instead that, I wonder is it possible to rewire that position into a coils 1+3, or maybe even 1 & 3 (parallel mode)

    I mean, I could do that by myself, but first would like to hear some advice from an EB experts!

    So I'm thinking someone has already done all that analysis and evaluation for us...

    Yeah, right!
    But people are impossible, I mean it will always be some freaks like me who want some extra options, tuning ...etc.

    I think that's why EBMM company made 25th models, there are really all combination of switching that could be possible, especially on the HSS model!

    I won't touch anything until warranty is active, that's for sure, but who knows, when warranty expires maybe I'll try some combination of rewire!

    P.S. ...I just must add, that I'm an educated person for electronics and acoustics, so it's piece of cake for me!
    It just depends if factory has made some protections against tuning freaks like me! (for example, if switch contacts are drowned in plastic or something )
    In that case I won't touch anything of course!
