It's not exactly rocket science...

On my Yamaha AES800 there's a knob that does something very subtle in just
ONE of 5 switch positions. Anyone know how this thing is wired?
No, but I remember reading something in the marketing bumf for that
guitar that said the knob was something to the effect of a "variable
in/out-of-phase control" for two (or maybe more) of the pickup coils
(each humbucker is split in certain of the switch positions on that
guitar).
I once tinkered with someone's AES800 with that in mind. I liked the
effect you could get with the "subtle" knob turned about halfway. Very
dry, cutting attack with a queer almost chorusy tone on what sustain
was left. Seemed as if it would be ideal for funk.
