Maximum tonal versatility that's a joy to play.
In addition to a 3-band active preamp, Michael Tobias included a 3-way mini-switch for each MM-style pickup. In the down position the pickups are in hum-cancelling series mode, which gives a big, bold, punchy sound. In the middle position the pickups are in single coil mode, making them sound bright and twangy. In the up position the pickups are in hum-cancelling parallel mode and they sound bright and sweet, with a slightly lower output than series mode. When both pickups are in single coil mode they are hum-cancelling when the blend pot is centered.
That is a lot of tonal flexibility. Michael has given you a massive pallet of sonic colors. So get yourself a MTD Kingston Super and start painting!
