Source for GOOD push/pull pots?

Post by greiswig »

Hi,

I implemented my non-HRM with a push-pull mid pot that switches (roughly) from a Skyliner to a classic tone stack. But it is one of those cheesy ones you get for guitar tone controls, and it's gone south on me. It always felt very bad, too...no resistance to movement, sloppy feel, etc.

Anyone know where I might find a really good version of this guy? Thanks!

Thanks, Henry. Where is he hiding them? All I saw were the CTS with the SPST rotary on them...

I don't know where he hides them but if you call he's got them. Thay are just 2 contacts that close when pulled so you may have to implement a relay to do your stack trickery.
