A push-pull potentiometer is used to turn a simple volume \/ tone knob into a volume \/ tone knob as well as a switch that can be pulled up or pushed down. Most commonly used to split humbucker pickups into single coil but there are various other uses too.<\/p>\n

PRICE IS FOR 1 POT – Please add the desired amount of pots to your cart.<\/p>\n

250k pots are usually used for volume and tone control on single coil pickups<\/p>\n

500k pots are usually used for volume and tone control on humbucker type pickups<\/p>\n

Split shafts are suitable for push-on control knobs, solid shafts are suitable for knobs that have no internal knurling’s and a tightening screw.<\/p>\n

What is the difference between A pots and B pots?<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“A<\/strong>” would denote an audio taper pot (most of the control happens between 7 – 10) and the “B<\/b>” suffix would denote a linear taper pot (more even roll-off between 0 – 10)<\/p>\n

A and B pots however are interchangeable and the only difference is the taper of the pot, or “how gradually it rolls off”. This is determined by player preference and either will work fine. Most guitars use Linear Taper for volume and Audio Taper for Tone.<\/p>\n
