Sweet Switch

[VoxAC30HW2]

Since I will be going to the 5 way Rotary and Sweet Switch
what does the Sweet Switch do? Also has anyone on here
gone from the 3 way switch and the push pull on the Tone
control to the 5 way Rotary and Sweet Switch?

Not from the 3 way and push/pull. I did have the rotary removed and replaced with the 3 way and two mini toggle switches for the splits (actually I had the PTC do it). Love that set up.

The best answer is it emulates a 150 foot guitar cable plugged in. (At least from what I've read)

The sweet switch capacitively loads the signal and adds some attenuation and a small delay similar to having a super long cable plugged in to the guitar. All passive.

I have a guitar with one here at the house.. it's pretty subtle in action.

I have one with a sweet switch here, too. As Serg says, it's subtle. It warms up the tone a bit, hence the term, "sweet."

It's a natural for higher gain stuff where you want a fat tone without ice pick.

Guys thanks for your reply the guitar play's great and I just don't
like the 3 way switch and the push pull on the tone control. To me
a PRS has a 5 way Rotary and a Sweet Switch. If I want a Blade
in my guitar I would have gone with another style guitar. It also
had to do with the Amp that I play thru and years ago when I did go
into the studio I played my PRS Custom 24 with a 5 way Rotary and
Sweet Switch.

ahem... the best answer is a 104 foot cable

JK I just looked tha up. I don't actually know anything about anything. but I did take 2 semesters of college physics. I understand enough to know that this dude knows his circuitry.
