Phase Invert Control with Push-Pull Potentiometer
Rev1.0
The Fluence Phase Invert Control enables a guitar to achieve the distinct tone of using two pickups "out-of-
phase" with each other. Engaging the pull-switch on the control pot inverts the phase/polarity of one pickup
relative to the other.
The rotary function of the pot can be wired several different ways to accommodate any control layout. The
three wiring options are a volume control, standard tone control, or reactive tone using the Fluence Tone
Reactor accessory.
A trim control is provided to fine adjust the volume blend between pickups when phase invert is engaged. This
allows dialing in the preferred sweet spot on guitars without separate pickup volume controls. The trim control
range is -2dB to +3dB with the middle position being 0dB (no change in level) for the pickup being phase
inverted.

I’m re-wiring my Ibanez RG750, but I think I have everything I need. I have the set of Mick Thomson humbuckers I had purchased a couple months ago & I recently bought the Fishman Single Width Single Coil Multivoice Pickup, along with a Fishman Fluence Strat pickup battery pack & a Fender 5 position Super Switch. I’m wondering if you have a wiring diagram that would allow me to us the Multivoice option on all 3 pickups?
