      Not a fan of the push push pots. I've had too many fail on me. AvPush Pull, or a simple toggle works better for me.

        Those are garbage!

        I went through 3 of them in less than 2 months a few years ago...

        I switched to DiMarzio branded CTS Push/Pull pots and stopped having issues!

          Maybe the reason that they were gone is because Allparts realized the design was garbage and went back to the drawing board to come up with a better one?

          Just sayin'

          - You love solid state amps
          - You don't actually play guitar
          - You kick puppies

            Nope...All Parts doesn't make anything, they sell stuff...those pots are made by Alpha

              I stand corrected then.

                I went through several pairs of push/push, some from Warmoth, some All Parts. I believe they were the same manufacturer. Garbage. The plastic spring catch failed on all of them and the spring forced them into the up position permanently. Good idea - terribly implemented.
