for Fender Stratocasters

** Historical Document – This circuit is no longer in production **

Stratocaster Design has a specialized tone circuit that Bruce Gombrelli designed about 5 years ago called MixFlexTone Circuit

It’s a very flexible and useful circuit for many types of Stratocaster applications, and it’s all done without changing the look of a standard strat.

You can use a wide variety of pickups with the circuit but the basic requirements is this:

A humbucker that has distinct coils (like a lace sensor dually) and 2 single coils of any kinds in the middle and neck. Of course, there are some recommended models.

The HSS circuit features the following:

• Full Humbucker arrangement on the bridge
• Split humbucker, works great with a Lace Dually or any other optional Humbucker that has 2 distinct coils.
• A switchable Middle pickup configuration and can be blended with any pickup or completely independent by itself in the 2nd position.
• The middle pickup has it’s own volume control which doubles as a blend control
• The 2nd volume control (1st standard strat tone) is a push-pull switch with operates the middle pickup.
• The tone control can be completely by passed.
• Sounds, go from full humbucker to ultra spanky.

The SSS version features the following (MixFlex Single Tone)

• 3 single coil pickup arrangement with standard 5 position switch
• A switchable Middle pickup configuration and can be blended with any pickup or completely independent by itself in the 2nd position.
• The middle pickup has it’s own volume control which doubles as a blend control
• The 2nd volume control (1st standard strat tone) is a push-pull switch with operates the middle pickup.
• The tone control can be completely by passed
