You'll be fine with the 350V rated cap. You'll probably see like 270VDC at that node.

No benefit to individual caps vs the can unless its for space constraints.

Do you have a pic of the amp in question? On some Dominators the voltage selector is on the front of the amp, as is here:

I just looked and they seem to still be going...

It doesn't have the voltage sector, unfortunately. Thanks for the info!

Yeah, weird, I went to their homepage and it was there, but everything on their site that came up in google searches lead to a broken link that said they were offline and to consult your local supplier. Must just be a link issue.

Anyone an ace at wiring blade style switches for unique switching? I tried poking around for this but couldn't find it anywhere.

Here's what I want to accomplish with a 4-WAY switch for a 3-pickup strat pickguard:

1: bridge only
2: middle only
3: neck only
4: neck + bridge (parallel)

I don't really care about order, though I would like bridge only to be on the end

Alternately I could do 5-way and add neck + bridge (series) as well.

Honestly I think you'd be best served just understanding the whole process about wiring as a whole & from there it should be a lot less difficult to parse.

This article I think does a pretty good job explaining it & even shows a couple examples. Shouldn't be too much to sort out from there.

I understand how 3 and 5 way switches work. I can accomplish what I want with a 5-way by switching the lug positions of the neck and middle pickups. But I still end up with a position combo I don't want.

I guess I'll look for how the 4-position works. What I'm asking may not be possible.

5 way blade with a kill switch for the middle pick up.

is two switches problematic ? like a little toggle beside the blade?

I have a toggle for pretty much that purpose, right beside my volume knob and I love it

I definitely don't want multiple switches. I'm trying to get it as simple as possible. I might just wire it like a tele with a 3-way and either ignore the middle pickup entirely or change a tone pot to a dedicated totally independent volume pot and wire the middle pickup directly to it.

I have a 5-way on another strat right now that's wired with a master volume, master tone, and blend pot (Fralin style). Which is fantastic, I just NEVER use the 2nd and 4th positions so I'd like to eliminate them altogether. I suppose I could just do that same setup with a 3-way switch.
