Can we discuss everyone's opinions about the Switcheroo? How do you like it compared to the more traditional pickup controls found on the Cobra?
Does anyone consider any one setting with the Switcheroo to be the "magic" position?
In your opinion, does the "series" setting on the over and under pickup (single coil shape) have any advantage over the "split" tone beside the lack of hum?
Does anyone have any opinion about the "parallel" tone compared to the "split" tone? It seems to be difficult to give up the classic split tone for the parallel tone. Perhaps setting either the neck or middle pickup to the parallel position while the other one is in split position is a viable option. If so, which pickup is the best choice for the parallel position?
And lastly, how does the combo of a humbucker in series/ neck pickup in parallel mode compare to a combo of a humbucker in series/ neck in split mode?
There seems to be a dizzying array of settings possible with the Switcheroo, especially when you consider taking the back cover off and playing with the split/parallel settings. What have you found to be some of the most practical ideas with the Switcheroo?
