Cool. And if you create a free log-in, you can save projects and re-order things that you've ordered before, so you don't have to search.

i think running the 500k p/p as the bucker tone makes sense. i dont like p/p pots on the volume knob since i use it so much. a 500k tone on the cc will be fine, its a pretty warm pup anyway so a little extra might be a good thing

Thanks for helping out y'all. I think I've pretty much determined that long shaft 250K p/p pots don't exist already---so do you have any insight on my two alternative options I was thinking about? I can put a resistor on a 500K pot to knock it down to 250K, or maybe I could use the 500K p/p pot for the humbucker tone, but I have no idea what the effect of that would be in relation to the two 250K pots and overall sound. Any ideas?

i dont know if ive seen long shaft 250k p/p pots, but i was able to find 25k p/p pots so who knows

I don't think I've ever noticed that before. If you want long-shaft, I guess they assume LP, and therefore, 500k. Sorry.

As I was saying in my post, I need long shaft pots for this guitar. The ones you linked to are 3/8" length shaft and I need the 3/4" shaft. I've only been able to find 500K 3/4" shaft push/pull pots, which was the link I provided in my post.Last edited by pupN00b; 04-08-2021, 08:42 AM.

Question about mixing 250K and 500K push/pull pot
Hello everyone! n00b here. Well, I can solder and follow directions, but that's about it. I have a few questions for something I'm working on.
I'm setting up:- HSS guitar with 1 volume, 2 tone, Schaller Megaswitch S in HSS2 configuration
- Pickups: Custom Custom humbucker and two Classic Stack Plus singles
I also need long shaft pots for this guitar and all I can seem to find for a long shaft push/pull is here and it's 500K:.
https://www.stewmac.com/electronics/...pots-spst.html
So here's my questions:- I was planning on putting the push/pull on the volume knob--assuming I can't find a 250K long shaft push/pull, should I buy this 500K pot and put a resistor on it knocking it down to 250K? Or just leave it at 500K?
- Or maybe I can use this 500K push/pull as the tone knob for the humbucker? I could still easily wire it to kill the middle pup this way
Thanks for any insight!Last edited by pupN00b; 04-08-2021, 08:23 AM.Tags: None
