Vela rewire and mini toggle question....

[Fram]

Hi all,

new member and long time lurker.

I am going to rewire my Vela with new pots, switch etc, but would like to add two mini toggles, one as a blower switch and one as a cocked wah (Eldred mod).

I think I have it all sussed apart from the cocked wah wiring for the mini toggle, I have the 0.0047 cap but no idea how to wire it up to the switch, have any of you guys done this ???

My vela has a low wound PAF in the bridge and a vintage Firebird in the neck, both hand wound here in the U.K.

many thanks guys

Ignore the 4-way blade here and just wire up your normal 3-way toggle.

The TDPRI guys tend to prefer the Arlo circuit, but you can omit the extra cap and resistor, which makes it the Eldred circuit.

That diagram was posted on TDPRI by a user who goes by moosie and has posted about a jillion other wiring schemes.

Love the antique white, and the satins are very cool.

Railhammers in both, they must rock.

I am switching out to a black pick guard when I rewire, just for a change up.
