Can anyone tell me the proper layout on the controls? My pickups were switched aroung (it makes a difference as the magnets are spaced different) and the knob layout doesn't make sense to me either.

If youy can tell me which knob should do what, it would be greatly appreciated. Here's a pic we can go off of...

On mine:
Toggle switch up (top) - Bridge pickup
Toggle switch down (bottom)- Neck pickup
Top fwd knob - bridge volume
Top back knob - bridge tone
Bottom fwd knob - neck volume
Bottom back knob - neck tone

Up (top) being closest to your face looking at the guitar (low E, toggle switch side).

Just for clarity... this is NOT the same as the Thunderhead which has a blend and the switch has phase and mute.

Also, I have seen Tornado's wired like Thunderheads and I have also seen the toggle same as the UKII and opposite. Not sure if they were rewired or not... I'm just saying I have seen just about every combination.

Ok, well I'm opting for up for the neck and down for the bridge. That's how everything else is I have. It would confuse me the other way.

Thanks everyone
