## What each position does

- Position 1; p5=down: Bridge humbucker (both coils). Source: Engine reading of the transcribed board; matches the source legend.
- Position 1; p5=up: Bridge humbucker (split to one coil). Source: Engine reading of the transcribed board; matches the source legend.
- Position 2; p5=down: Middle single and Bridge humbucker (both coils) in parallel. Source: Engine reading of the transcribed board; matches the source legend.
- Position 2; p5=up: Middle single and Bridge humbucker (split to one coil) in parallel. Source: Engine reading of the transcribed board; matches the source legend.
- Position 3; p5=down: Middle single. Source: Engine reading of the transcribed board; matches the source legend.
- Position 3; p5=up: Middle single. Source: Engine reading of the transcribed board; matches the source legend.
- Position 4; p5=down: Neck single and Middle single in parallel. Source: Engine reading of the transcribed board; matches the source legend.
- Position 4; p5=up: Neck single and Middle single in parallel. Source: Engine reading of the transcribed board; matches the source legend.
- Position 5; p5=down: Neck single. Source: Engine reading of the transcribed board; matches the source legend.
- Position 5; p5=up: Neck single. Source: Engine reading of the transcribed board; matches the source legend.

- Custom-taper pots are treated as linear by the simulator.
