It’s not insane.

Three split series parallel, one mid boost button with accompanying gain control. An add neck pickup to selected. And finally a blower that switches between bridge humbucker in series and whatever the five way is. But you still need to listen because there’s some great sounds.
 
I had my theater guitar wired with the middle pickup on a separate switch so I could get those kind of sounds.

I omitted the split/series/parallel switches in favor of a push/push to split the two humbuckers. I find the toggles too fiddly for me for live work. A blower switch is something I think I’d like to add. Too bad that can’t be done with a push/push pot

Ahh, these are classic mods that have been around a long time. Good on them for bundling them together and including them upfront.

Can confirm, this indeed happened to me. Updated avatar to reflect new hotness. :love
I didn't think I would use all of the options on this thing, but every sound really is useful. I especially like all three pickups on, Neck and Bridge split with the Middle pickup in series. The sound of the Middle pickup pokes out slightly over the other two in a neat way when set like that.

Usable switch options are rare. And these are more than usable they are go too sounds .

Why not? Should be dead easy to do. After all, it's just an on/on switch.

Edit: Oh, ok, possibly not as easy if you also need parallel/split options for the bridge pickup.

It’s a DT4P on on so not possible with the push pull switches available now.

The red one.

Even the midboost on the JTG with the "quacky" 2 and 4 positions makes a big difference to the range of tones from that setup.

I'm really tempted to throw a Huff style pickguard together in one of my Strats.
 
Fwiw, I had a similar switching system in my Anderson when I bought it - and even expanded it (so it was pretty much exactly like the Tyler system, as in featuring an additional 5-way Superswitch and 3 modes per each of the 3 pickups). Even thought about actually slapping in an active modified boost (still have one from Chandler hanging around somewhere, a mate has turned it into a tuneable midboost). But I ended up never using all the options, so by now that Anderson has 2 pickups and a 3-way blade switch (and will remain like that forever).
