Coil Splitter Some models with humbucking pickups also feature mini-toggle switches which allow you to select between single coil and dual coil (humbucking) modes. Dual Coil Selector Some models have two adjacent Sensors in the bridge position. This switch allows you to utilize either of the Sensors or both together. Series/Parallel A Series/Parallel Switch changes the wiring of the sensors to produce sound variations. The "Up" position puts your Sensors in a Parallel configuration, giving clear, bell-like tones. "Down" position puts your Sensors in a Series configuration, which produces a hotter output signal with a lot more bottom end. Notch Filter A three-way on-board toggle that switches between three modes: Passive (standard tone control), Narrow Frequency Band Notch Filter, and Wide Band Notch Filter.
