CTS DPDT Push Pull Pots Are Alive \m/

[Mookakian]

Thats right, saw them today whilst browsing at Mojotone, Custom Tapered Push Pull Pots designed for guitar by Mojotone and CTS!!

Yet to try them though have some on order, will let you know


CTS 500K DPDT Push-Pull Potentiometer

Cool.

 

[Mookakian]

-Custom taper for a smoother volume or tone control
-7% tolerance. Tightest tolerance available!
-Solid brass split shaft and bushing (3/8'' diameter x 3/8'' length)


Now we just need a 3PDT push Pull for series out of phase in one motion \m/

So is the only difference between these and their standard push pulls a tighter tolerance and a different taper? I just did a jimmy page wiring scheme with Bourns push pulls and I love them, but the terminals were so small wiring was a little hard and these look even worse! Not really a fan of the plastic housing either. These lugs are deffinately bigger though and it is a full size pot (bourns are mini). Each has pros and cons I guess, just like everything haha

It will be interesting to check them out, CTS are pretty reliable for Durability so fingers crossed, these I feel are for those that prefer the smooth sweep of a Custom Taper in the Volume Position, Audio and Linear can have an on/off feel or sight jump mid sweep when used in the volume position, this is why a lot of guys try to avoid using P/Pulls in the volume position. Of course a lot of players like the way Audio or Linear react in the volume position after years of experience with them, whatever works, these CTS are another option to tailor the controls of a guitar to suit the player \m/

I will run a few data tests and post a graph of the curve, give size specs and more pics plus a recording in a few months

I wanna try them too,
but I'm wondering it is to short for my LPJ.

 

[StandingWave]

Cool! If they produce a long-shaft, I'm in.

 

[alsoty]

I got them,
will try them later0

 

[kboman]

Following with great interest...

too short T^T
my LPJ can use it, but a little strange, I'll po the pic. later.

 

[Mookakian]

bugger! Gibson?

 

[alsoty]

bugger! Gibson?

it's short on Gibson LP, but still OK.

The strange thing is very hard to solder when I want to make a ground.
That's not a good metal to solder.
Maybe Aluminium or something else material.

Cool thanks for the pics and details, did you throw one in the neck volume (thickest part), they do look a little close to the top there, thats a bit of a flaw, might MSG Mojotone to let em know

But at least other guitars will be right, thos tops in LP's are deep suckers.

Yeah,
All of them are ok.
But the thickest one is Neck tone on my LPJ.

I just finish my LPJ's rewire,
This push/pull is difficult to solder because the hole is so tiny and so close.

I'll post other pictures soon.

 

[alsoty]

Neck vol.

Bridge vol.

if can't fit,
take this away.

I solder them for a while...

Finish~

Hi all,

Did anyone ever have any luck finding a long-shaft equivalent of these pots?

I've found that Bareknuckle makes 500k long shaft push-pulls, and I've asked if they have a tight tolerance (which I want).
