Schaller Megaswitch P Nickel Pickup selector
The Schaller Megaswitch P Nickel is a 5-way pickup selector switch built for guitars and basses, designed to unlock advanced wiring combinations from your existing pickups. Engineered in Germany with a sturdy metal housing and gold-plated conductor tracks, it delivers precise switching action and clean signal transmission across all five positions. The Type P variant is purpose-built for HH (dual humbucker) configurations, expanding the tonal palette far beyond a standard 3-way toggle. Compact at just 34 g and 48 × 54.4 × 15.1 mm, it drops into standard control plate routings without modification.
- 5-Way Switching — unlocks five distinct tones from two humbuckers, including series and parallel coil combinations.
- Gold-Plated Conductor Tracks on the PCB ensure clean signal transmission and corrosion-free contact over years of use.
- Sturdy Metal Housing with high-strength movable parts provides precise engagement in every switch position.
- Compact Footprint — 48 × 54.4 × 15.1 mm with 40.7 mm mounting screw spacing fits standard control plate routings.
Schaller Megaswitch P — 5-Way Pickup Selector for Advanced Wiring
This 5-way pickup selector is engineered to extract the maximum tonal range from electric guitar and bass wiring configurations. Built around a sturdy metal housing with gold-plated conductor tracks on the PCB, the switch guarantees perfect sound transmission and precise engagement in every position. The Type P variant is specifically designed for HH (dual humbucker) setups, offering five distinct voicings from a pair of humbuckers.
What Sets the Megaswitch P Apart
Unlike conventional 3-way switches, the Megaswitch P uses a dedicated circuit board with gold-plated conductor tracks to route signal between pickup coils in series, parallel, or single-coil modes. The solder tab on the circuit board simplifies grounding during installation, while the high-strength movable parts inside the metal housing ensure crisp detent action over years of playing.
