Yes, and not only that, the pickups plus the preamp play most of the part on the Wal sound. The pickups have individual humbuckers for each string and the preamp combines these humbuckers into their designated Filters. It's the combination of those things, plus, body construction (mainly the neck) and pickups placement, that make Wal, well, Wal. The closest you can get, electronically wise, is to use the multicoil pickups with the coils properly wired together with a preamp, like the Lusithand double nfp special, which combines the individual humbuckers, like a Wal does, into the filter preamps.

Sweet. If you want to have it as a Wal, just reverse them back to how they were. Regarding the Wal "mid push", it comes down to pickup construction amongst many variables. The main thing to be considered is that even though you are using multicoils, these are not wired in the same manner as a Wal MK is. The coils should be wired in a 1 humbucker per string config plus, they should be electronically mixed before seeing the EQ stage. The NFP-SPECIAL does this, provided the coils have been wired in that manner and has 1 output per string. That will probably put you a bit closer to the Wal MK. As a side note, the neck construction is super important for the energy transfer of the strings, probably more than the body itself.

I believe you have the Neck and Bridge reversed on the motherboard. If you connect them properly, the pickups Blend will be standard.

The NFP, or Double NFP are second order low pass filters with a resonant peak at the cutoff frequency. The potentiometer allows you to travel between , approximately, 150hz and 4khz. The potentiometer is push-push for boosting the cutoff frequency. It's not a mids pot, but you can make it act like one by adjusting the pot. You'll take more advantage of the preamp with a double version that allows you for more variety.

Both Martin at Herrick pickups and Veijo at Rautia Guitars seem to do a great job with their Multi-coils. Herrick seems to offer more of the Wal Mki and Pro series type of wiring, and I believe a different way (not used by Wal). Rautia offers the same type of wirings plus, and this is intersting, the MKii and Mkiii type of wiring (one humbucker per string). Lusithand Devices makes a Wal/Alembic type preamp and offers a version that mixes the Multicoil wiring in the same way Wal does on their Mkii and Mkii series.

The potentiometers for the Wal preamps are quite likely Custom made, so, it would be extremely unlikely to find a proper replacement.
