"Choose from multiple caps for each tone control
.015µF
.022µF
.033µF
.047µF
.1µF"

now THAT sounds good. ive though about trying to have multiple capacitors underneath there and have some sort of swtich for it. but im not quite clever enoguh to know how to wire sometihng like that :)

That thing is gigantic! You have to physically change each dip switch, and then once you close the pickguard back up you are limited to whatever settings you picked on the 5-way toggle, and have to open up the guitar again to change the 5 settings. On the game changer (from what we have been told) it is digital, fits in the tone control spot, and is programmable for whatever switching options you want, and can switch between batches of presets on the fly by push/pull.

That was an interesting idea and would certainly have been handy if you were always fiddling with your strat.

But man, it'd be so much handier to have something digital that was all-purpose- where you could make changes on the fly, not need to open it up and mess with DIP switches, etc. (How many times I've had to take my bloody guitars apart to wire in a series/parallel switch or something else that I went back and took out weeks later!)

I'm looking forward to the game changer- looks like it'll be a ton o' fun.

What an abortion that thing is. I mean....crap....if I wanted to make cap changes instead of all the pickup options I chose, my sublhouette could have run with 2 12 way rotary switches and I bet it would do all that this thing does.....for about $9. It would look the same as this and no pulling the pickguard off to do anything.....(note....both rotary switches on mine are 6 way double poles to give 6 separate setups for coils and phasing of each hum.....then separate volume knobs (my tone is always wide open).
