Need Diagram for 2 or 3 caps switch

[Grissle]

Anyone have a simple diagram for doing this? Maybe even adding an .01 to be able to just take the top off. So .01/.022/.047.

Will I need a SPDT or DPDT? I'm guessing SPDT for 2 caps and DPDT for 3 caps?

Well for 2 or 3 you can use a SPDT Switch

Just need to have one that dose On/On/On or On/Off/On
So you would have say 12-15nF (0.012-0.015uF) from the Center pin (i am guessing this is a TONE SWITCH) and the other end of the Leg to Earth
And on the sides of the Switch you use a 8.2-10nF (0.0082-0.01uF) and a 33nF

This will give you a range of (20.2nF/23.2nF) - (12nF/15nF) - (45nF/48nF)
{dont forget that 5% error factor on each cap any way, IE there is no TRUE 47nF}
The On/Off/On Toggle is a LOT cheaper than a (On/on/on)

I need to find a dam good data base to upload circuits on to
<for now i got it in my Avatar image thing>
Basically lets you Select (12or15)+33 = 45or48nF, Middle will just be (12or15)nF and the other side will be (8.2or10)+(12or15)=(20.2-25)nF

Thank you!

Sorry i suck on explainging things

the way i suggested is the cheapest, smallest too
<Smaller Switch, Smaller Caps>

Could also get a good range of sounds with Mixing the Cap types too
ie Change the 12/15nF for a different type that Polyester
(and i dont know why i put 2P2T, it should be 1P2T)

The 1P2T or 2P2T (on/off/on) is cheap £1 or less
the 2P2T (on/on/on) is £4 give or take a £1 (ahh US)

If its the SIZE of the Caps, ie 47nF is the same as a 22+15+10
there all in PAR with each other they are just ADDED UP
like Resisters in SERIES, people should use that fact more
than just buy a dear 2P2T (On/On/On)
Its Bad workmanship
<get the Most out of the Min>

You make some thing SMALLER/CHEAPER and they still want the OLD WAYS !!

mm well i would go for a 100nF (0.1uF) one myself


I only did one TONE pot because a P-Bass tend to only have one


Smaller SWITCH with a 1P2T, Cheaper too with only be a On/On/On, Will costs less on the CAPS as uses 22nF (0.022uF) Caps and a 82nF (0.082uF)
Also i think if you use the middle 22nF (0.022uF) one as a different type than Polyester, MIGHT be able to get a faction different tone from the 104nF (0.1uF) and the 44nF (0.044uF)

yes i know its 3nF (0.003uF/3000pF) out of the 47nF (0.047uF) but you do have a 5% tol any way, and i dont think you will notice the diff with a 47nF(0.047uF) and a 44nF(0.044uF) or the 100nF (0.1uF) and the 104nF (0.104uF)

--cadfael values--
was suggested to change the 22nF for a 27nf on the far side, and he is right

2P2T (on/on/on) version for the Values 100nF/47nF/22nF
#
One type of CAP and one Switch, and in ORDER

[AngelLaHash]

Ok, Last one as im going MAD

Specs: In Order, Cheap 1P2T (On/Off/On) Switch, Smaller than a 2P2T
