In order for two sounds to cancel each other out they have to be of the same strength (this is why it is easier to get that Jimmy Page “chirpy” middle position with a hotter bridge pickup). So as soon as you lower the output of one pickup, the other becomes dominant and essentially overrides the other, and terminating the OOP effect. You may be left with some partial phase cancellation (odd frequencies) but never the full OOP sound. I would think the audio taper curve of the outs plays against any kind of tinkering too as it tends drop-off faster than a linear pot.
That’s my $0.02.
We were talking the other day and you mentioned how to get a slight OOP effect without doing the magnet flip and the rewire and I wanted to find out how you set your 2 pickup volumes while in the middle position ? I have always been fascinated by this sound .
