Schaller Megaswitch M rotary Nickel Pickup selector

Schaller Megaswitch M Rotary — 5-Position Pickup Selector Switch

The Schaller Megaswitch M rotary is a 5-position pickup selector switch engineered for electric guitars and basses that need more tonal flexibility than a standard lever switch can offer. With 24 contacts and support for SSS, HH, HS, SH, and SS pickup configurations, this rotary switch opens up parallel, series, and out-of-phase wiring from a single control. This model is the right choice for guitar technicians and tone-conscious players who want to unlock the full potential of their instrument's pickup layout.

Gold-Plated Conductors and Precision Engineering

What sets this switch apart in the Megaswitch family is its gold-plated conductor tracks on the circuit board, which Schaller specifies to guarantee perfect sound transmission. High-strength moving parts and precise engagement in all five positions ensure reliable contact after years of regular use on stage or in the studio.

Compact Mechanical Footprint for Standard Control Plates

The mechanical dimensions are designed to fit standard control plate layouts, with a total weight of just 34 g that adds almost nothing to the instrument. The mounting screw distance and socket housing depth match common control cavity routings, making installation straightforward for most guitar and bass builds.

• Weight: 34 g — minimal added mass to the instrument
• Dimensions (W × H × D): 48 × 54.4 × 15.1 mm — fits standard control plate routings
• Mounting screw distance: 40.7 mm — matches common control plate hole patterns
• Socket housing depth without switch: 30 mm — leaves clearance inside the electronics cavity

24 Contacts Across 5 Positions for Expanded Wiring

The electrical design is what makes this switch a go-to upgrade for complex pickup layouts. With 5 positions and 24 contacts, the Megaswitch M rotary can route single coils and humbuckers in parallel, series, or out-of-phase — combinations a standard lever switch cannot reproduce.

• Positions: 5 — five distinct pickup routing options
• Contacts: 24 — supports parallel, series, and out-of-phase wiring
• Supported pickup configurations: SSS, HH, HS, SH, SS — covers most common guitar and bass layouts
