Like i've promissed to some of you

i've customized position 2 on my 5 way switch of my Luke

this mos is very interisting for who doesn't use (or like) the original routing

pos 1 and 2 are so similar

The sound is very similar to a pos 2 on a standard SSS F.....r

this mod is reversible

the 2 component added in serial are

resistence : metal film 22Kohms 0.25 Watt
capacitor : 33 nF (0.033) 63 volts

remove the original shunt beetween 1 and 2
move the orange cable from 2 to 1

you have to soldering the 2 components in serial (no polarity)
and soldering them beetween 1 and 2

THAT'S ALL :eek:

all is on this pic

if you have any question no problem

again sorry for my english :eek:

ok guys did the mod this weekend thanks to Jean-Marc

it really bring back the quack on pos2 the only drawback is that the sound is slightly less shinny but nothing that can be compensated with a bit of EQ

will post some sound clip hopefully this week ;)

Between this mod and the 18v mod in the other thread, we might be creating an army of super lukes on roids!

Nice work guys. Another great benefit to being part of this community

Double check with CS for the piezo cause I'm not sure preamp can support 18V

as for the mod it's quite simple 2 batteries in serie I need to find out a way to make it easily reversible

there are some kits on Ebay you can use for that and yes there is a space inside where the battery can fit (on non Piezo model)
