Free-Way Switch: A whole new dimension in pickup switching for electric guitars!
The Free-Way switch was first used on stage in December 2007 during Led Zeppelin’s Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert where the new Gibson Jimmy Page Les Paul Custom was featured during an incredible performance of “For Your Life”.
When you first play a guitar with a Free-Way switch, you might not even realize it is there – the guitar doesn’t look any diferent and the pickup selector feels just like a normal 3-way blade switch giving Neck/Neck+Middle/Middle/Middle+Bridge/Bridge selections. It’s only when you realise that the Free-Way switch moves into an additional three positions that you understand what the Free-Way is all about.
A whole new dimension in natural tone – coil tapping, phase switching, series/parallel, piezo blending…you decide! Fast, intuitive switching – all in one familiar place so it’s easy to understand and use. Classic looks – completely maintains the authentic design, appearance and condition of any guitar.
Model 3B3-01:
The 3B3-01 model delivers 6-position Free-Way switching in a Blade format which is directly interchangeable with conventional 3-way selectors. The lower bank of 3 positions delivers the familiar neck/both/bridge pickup combinations just as normal – but the upper bank configures the two pickups: in series; in series reverse phase; in parallel reverse phase, thereby providing every possible tonal combination from a two pickup guitar. Alternatively the 3B3-01 can be used with dual humbuckers which can be configured as above or coil-split in the upper bank. Visually undetectable when fitted, the 3B3-01 delivers incredible tonal flexibility in a completely intuitive, familiar package.
