Terminator - TEN

Regular price $ 2,856.00

The Terminator-TEN is a Single Volume Single Tone System with 5-Way Selector Switch for Humbucker - Single - Humbucker equipped instruments.  We consider the Terminator-TEN, which is a combination of the 5/3 and 5/3M systems, our pinnacle system.

Inspired after a conversation with Steve Vai, Electric Ed designed the Terminator-TEN the following day.  In standard operation mode the Goes to Eleven Volume Pot is at 500k and the Terminator Ten 5-Way Selector Switch has the following pickup combinations:

  • Position One - Bridge Humbucker
  • Position Two - Bridge Humbucker & Middle Single Coil
  • Position Three - Bridge and Neck Humbuckers
  • Position Four - Neck Humbucker & Middle Single Coil
  • Position Five - Neck Humbucker

Engage the Terminator-TEN P/P Pot and turn your guitar into a Strat by changing the value of the Goes to Eleven Volume Pot from 500k to 250k and now having the following pickup combinations with Terminator-TEN 5-Way Selector Switch:

  • Position One - Bridge Humbucker Split
  • Position Two - Bridge Humbucker Split & Middle Single Coil
  • Position Three - Middle Single Coil
  • Position Four - Neck Humbucker Split & Middle Single Coil
  • Position Five - Neck Humbucker Split

With the Terminator-TEN it's like having a Dual Humbucker guitar and Strat in the one guitar!  

The Terminator-TEN is specifically designed for instruments with two humbucker pickups with coil splitting options in the bridge and neck positions, and a single coil in the middle position.  This instrument would utilize a single volume control and a single tone control.

  • One Terminator "Goes 2/11 Volume" Pot
  • One Terminator-TEN Yin-Yang P/P Pot
  • Mad Hatter Switchcraft Output Jack
  • Terminator-TEN 5-Way Selector Switch
  • Two Polypropylene Tone Capacitors, a .022uF and a .047uF to help find just the right tone.
