View Full Version : Warr controls?

Greetings! I just found this website, and this is my first post. I just scored a used Warr 8 string, and can't figure out the controls on this sucker. I understand the cocentric pot for volume on the magnetic and peizos, and the EQ section. What are the 3 tiny switches for? I believe the middle one is for pickup selector, but the other two baffle me. Anybody? Bueller?

Jim Wright of Warr can answer your question more precisely if he's listening these days, but I think one of them may split the 8 strings into two sets of four.
Assuming that you have a stereo output cord going into one or two amps, unplug one of the two mono outputs, so that only one side is hot. Then play across all eight strings and see if they're all coming through. If so, flip one of the switches and see if all strings are still coming through.
Rinse and repeat, to see if this theory is of any use. If questions remain, call Jim at Warr Guitars.

Well, I figured out that one of them is a pickup selector, and one is a mid-frequency selector. Still clueless on the other one, though. It's not a stereo selector since this is a mono instrument. It's a three way toggle, and I can't tell if it effects the peizos, magnetic or both. :confused:

If you have both piezos and magnetics, then one switch should either select one, the other, or both (3 position) or there should be a double-action blend knob to blend the two.
