Stratocaster Blender 50's style circuit, how does it work??

What is the "blend-Circuit"? A system that simply offers 7 positions instead of the traditional 5 of the selector. The first potentiometer is a general volume, the potentiometer of tone N°1 functions for the three microphones on all the combinations of the selector. The No. 2 tone knob is a "blender" volume that activates the "blend circuit": When you turn the knob counter-clockwise, you activate the neck pickup in positions 1 and 2 of the selector and in position 4 and 5 you activate the pickup bridge, the blend circuit does not work in position 3 of the selector. Clockwise you cut the volume of the pickup and you keep your 5 usual positions.

The "blend circuit" simply offers 7 positions in parallel to your Stratocaster, with a single tone knob for all selector positions, without additional switches or tools. The sound is more funky, bright and punchy in saturation. You get Jaguar style sound and you get Telecaster tones by combining neck pickup and pickup pickup in parallel, you balance the volume of the added pickup . Attention!!! This plate may not be compatible with 4-ply pickguards that are thicker than 2mm.
