Description

High quality CTS 500K audio taper pot with Push/Pull DPDT switch. Use to add phase, coil tapping, series/parallel and other custom options. Short body height and side mounted contacts require less space than standard push/pull pots (1” depth ) making them ideal for thin bodied guitars with a shallow body cavity. 

  • Low capacitance heavy duty carbon resistive element provides noise-free audio and a long life.
  • Tight tolerance of +10%/-10% prevents tone loss from load mismatches and low pot values. 
  • Solid brass shaft and bushing provides a smooth feel, noise free operation and longer service life than aluminum shafts.
  • Fine spline (USA) shaft for use as a direct upgrade/replacement in most American guitars.
  • Includes friction washer, top washer & mounting nut.

    They're huge

    Published by Dirt on Mar 13th 2024

    These things are really nice, and easier to solder than a regular push/pull. The pull has a nice feel to it and so does the pot itself. One thing to be mindful of- they are HUGE. I have only used Bourns push/pull pots in the past and these are probably 2-3x bigger (wider mostly). I used these in a Tele build and had to orient them facing each other or else there was no way they would fit in the cavity. In most guitars you should be absolutely fine, but if you're worried about a tight fit in a control cavity, these might not be the best way to go

    Works. Easy to wire. Powerful...

    Not much to say. The through holes for the DPDT switch made wiring easy. I do wish there was a linear taper option on here of the same type.

    CTS Is Great Value

    Published by Alan on Apr 8th 2019

    Pot ohm'ed out to 485k. I used my meter & found the proper connections, as I could not readily search them. C1 + 2 is Push ON, C1 + 1 is Pull ON. C2 + 4 is Push ON, C2 + 3 is Pull ON
