Hey guys! Love PRS, but I haven't been able to make use of split tones live. I do have an older CE22 from 1994 with the 5 way rotary. That guitar is great that I can do humbucker and all the other split or phase/out of phase tones at the same volume.
With my 2005 McCarty (mahogany), the split tones are nice but too quiet to use live. I also installed split pots on my SC250, and that was also too much a drop in volume. I think there is something you can do with caps to make it louder?
For now, I just use humbuckers but it's nice when I use my CE22 for some of our cover songs by The Police, and other bands that used single coil guitars...and even covering some acoustic like stuff. Wishing I had kept the Piezo system in my CE22.
Anyway, would be cool to cover more single coil tones live but I have only been able to do it with my CE22 thus far. That old 5-way rotary is great for that. I know many people would convert the 5-way to a McCarty style push/pull but I assume that results in the same volume drops.
Oddly, my guitar tech gigs with Strats and he has no volume drops at all. True single coils too.
I prefer humbuckers so I stick to what I know, but would be cool to have options.
