Santana 1 innards

[g.wizz]

Hello brothers

A friend of mine is interested in the wiring schematic of the original Santana model
with the 2 mini switches, so is it possible to find a diagram?
Any help is very appreciated, thx.
Nabs.

You know I don’t have this.

Were these rumored to have something funky in the circuit?

The only funky thing I know of is the all-pickups-off setting on the switches. Still scares me from time to time.

I loved that switching on the one that I played! It gives you the opportunity to do the Ace Frehley “Ah-ah-ah” thing.

I wonder what the value of that trimmer is? Had no idea that was in there, but I will say...I thought of it first!

Nevermind...just read Shawn’s attachment and all was revealed.

The fact that this links to a GIF made me think something nefarious was up.

Do I see proto-TCI right there in the center of this shot?

I don't have the schematic, but maybe these will help.

I thought the same thing when I opened her up. Turns out it takes the tone pot from 250k to 370k.
