Product Description
The HCP Humbucker Control Pot is a dual mode coil tap selector that eliminates the additional switches associated with coil splitting a pair of humbuckers. In TAP mode, rotating the pot counterclockwise fades from humbuckers to single coils (Neck South coil & Bridge North coil). Pulling the HCP control up and rotating it counterclockwise fades from humbuckers to single coils Coils (Neck North coil & Bridge South coil). Tonal control is expanded with the unique ability to coil tap both humbuckers in varying amounts. In COIL FILTER mode, turning the HCP control applies varying amounts of a specially tuned high frequency filter to only one coil of the selected coils of the humbuckers (either North or South coils can be filtered). This makes each pickup a single coil at high frequencies and a humbucker at lower frequencies which produces a sound similar to a pair of single coils but with a stronger, fuller tone and 50% less noise than coil tapping.

HCP
this is an elegant idea, unique and well executed. I installed this on a Les Paul, including the optional filter dpdt, and it adds several useful additional tones. this device is based on a bourns 500k audio taper pot. I would love to see a 250k version (which could be no-load, if necessary), because most of the action occurs at the low end of the rotation and the lower pot value would provide better control.

Works Great.
I have installed these in two of my custom builds so far and I love the results. They give you such a range of sound possibilities. The only concern that made me give a 4 star instead of 5 is that I have used a bunch of the push pull tone filters in the past and the pots got scratchy fairly quickly. Hoping that doesn't happen with these.

Works as described
Simply, it works great - just as described. it adds a lot of versatility to my setup. Highly recommend for anyone that wants both the single coil and humbucker functionality.
