Push Pull Potentiometer for volume or tone knob

[Impellitteri]

Anyone who tried DIY installation of the push and pull pot?

I wanted to explore the split and parallel sounds from a 2 humbucker setup

Where can I buy this?


TIA

May push/pull pots sa Audiophile. Meron din sa www.epektos.com.

Natry ko na siya pang coil split. Medyo kakaiba ang wiring pag parallel tapos naka push/pull. Baka hindi mo sila mapagsabay sa isa or dalawang push pull pots.

Make sure na yung humbuckers ay 4-conductor.

[Impellitteri]

Thanks Bro.

Need nga 4 conductor wires for my soon to be upgraded 2 humbuckers haaay

Mga magkano pala price range for the pot?


Thanks again

[shoegaze geezer]

price range of push-pull per piece: 350-750

price of humbucker pick-ups with 4 conductors: 7,500 (seymour duncan), 11,500 (gibson)

Bro try mo rin iexplore yung depindot na pot. Bale instead of push/pull, puro push lang siya. Sa Guitarsalon meron.

Joseph, naka try ako dati ng ganitong push/push.. Di siya kagandahan pag naluluma.. Nagsstuck yung switch, kailangan mo pa "i-pull" para bumalik sa taas.. tapos pag push mo, magsstuck ulit na baba yung switch..

Uy salamat sa info bro! Nakita ko kasi sa kabaro kong gitarista. Natuwa ako eh. Mukhang matibay pero kung sirain naman pala, wag nalang.

Parang humihina yung spring niya sa loob.. Mas mabuti pang mag push/pull talaga..

Pinaka maganda kong natry na push/pull pot so far ay yung premium push/pull pot ng Bourns.. Medyo may kamahalan (~750-800) pero ang layo ng quality compared sa mga ~350 variants.. solid at firm yung shaft pag nag pull ka, walang "wiggle".. Saka ganda ng ikot niya, parang CTS.

I would recommend ARCEES hand wound pickups for 2500 PHP, tried them yesterday and I can say...they sound a lot better than my PAF PRO and FRED DiMarzio's... plz guys   check out ARCEES custom pickups instead of SD and DM I promise..they are much better , Raph has a policy...if u don't like..no need to buy.... I even gonna rip out my BURSTBUCKERS from my 57 VOS Goldtop..   his PAF's sound better...I was totally amazed

I have 2 bourns push\pull pot (from spanky) installed in my custom guitar. Yung feel pa lang alam mo ng matibay plus panalo yung sweep niya.

That, at kelangan medyo mataas yung knob from the body to allow for the push slack activation.

push/pull designed ng mga banyaga para sa tone control lang..

pero okey lang,,, minsan nga yung guitar neck ginagawa natin body tas, yung guitar body convert natin sa neck..

wag mag alala,, natural yan...

Brod,hindi ito yung drugs and guitars thread

[electromark]

hmmm i like the way my push/pull pot response, ok naman sya at mukang matibay. mine is cor-tek push/pull lagi ko sya gamit because nagagawa nya magtunog strat yung guitar ko.

pare,, splitting coils ang exploration ng thread starter,,,
and afaik, were just making things much harder,,,

push/pull = normal/bright sound of your guitar,, or,,, fat/mid sound of your guitar..(controlling the tone)

wag natin piliting gawin syang 'switch',,, potentiometer po yan... ang work nya is to minimize/maximize the sound... bat natin gawing switch? eh di nagka buhol buhol wirings natin, ngangabels ka pa kasi yung ibang pick-up combinations mo,,, goodbye na... .. tama ba?

ganito yan,,, splitting coils?  bili ka toggle switch,,, sacrifice your your guitar,,, bubutasan talaga yan.. switch nag kelangan mo hindi pots...




................  katol pa nga jan!!!

Yung push/pull pot ay potentiometer na may nakakabit na DPDT switch, kaya siya may "push/pull".

Kung pabibilhin mo siya ng separate na switch para magbutas sa gitara, ganun din yun. Nagpakapagod lang sa pagbubutas. Same lang ang wiring sa loob ng may separate toggle switch at may DPDT push/pull switch.

Pag nag push/pull ka sa switch, hindi affected kung ano man ang setting mo sa potentiometer.

push/pull = normal/bright sound of your guitar,, or,,, fat/mid sound of your guitar..(controlling the tone)

Wrong. Depende yan kung papano mo iwwire sa loob. Kung wala kang iwwire sa DPDT switch, wala ring mangyayari sa tunog.

[curiousdcat]

I agree with r_chino, a push/pull pot and toggle switch can do the same thing.

BTT:

This maybe the wiring the TS wanted:

Edit:  Only diff between a push/pull pot and a toggle switch is that the toggle switch would not be able to let you control tone or volume levels.  That, plus the less destructive installation (no drilling required), makes the push/pull pot a better option for me.

You can use it to bypass vol and tone.As in Pickup to amp agad.

I did this (coil splitting using push and pull pot) to my Les paul and also to an Aria Pro guitar na nagpaayos sa akin. And yes, push and pull potentiometer is definitely a potentiometer with DPDT switch below it. And you can use it to split coils sa mga humbucker equipped guitars and other mods.

And about the normal/bright and fat/mid thing, doesn't have an effect (even if you push and pull down the pot).

I think you better research what a push and pull pot is all about.

[sweeplikevai]

haha,,, nga nga ako... tama silang lahat..
etong hirap sa katol...

sigi sigi,,, research ku bakit nag ba-bright yung genesis ko noon pag pull ko...

[dennis22opina]

Masama ang katol..go organic..
OT..haha!

Baka dahil naccoil split yung humbucker (fat sounding) at nagiging single coil (trebly and bright). 

Yun mismo ang balak gawin nung thread starter. Doesn't matter kung naka wire as volume or tone yung push/pull pot since built-in DPDT switch lang naman ang naka incorporate sa pot.

This might be it. He didn't know what the push and the pull do to his guitar... ahahahah
