Tone pot that gest activated wihen pulled up

[mst]

I heard about a mod like thins on the chri broderick jackson model. Basically you have the tone knob but it works ONLY when pulled up. when down is total bypass in the circuit.

any idea where i could find one? probably i serached in an improper way!

I think the no-load tone pots that Fender uses work the same way, without being as clumsy. Basically, on 10, they 'click' off. To use them, you click them below 10 and they become active.

CTS make a similar no load tone pot. It just doesn't click. Same as the Fender, when on 10 it's bypassed

Those are much easier to use than grabbing a pot and pulling. Especially skirted knobs, which are sometimes hard to grab.

You can use a "no-load pot" to simulate this, and it will probably be easier and better

For the exact item you describe, it's just a "push-pull pot" (as you would use for coil taps) with the value and taper of your current tone pot, wired with your regular capacitor

It is just wired through the switch (the push-pull terminals under the regular pot part) to only be engaged when pulled up. Pushing it down bypasses it.

I had one of my guitars, a Strat,

wired up with the bridge and middle pickups in series, straight to jack! (because I was out of parts).

What a sound! There was this... sheen of harmonics, a "glaring" sound. And it was a great guitar, it was very dynamic.

If your heart is set on doing this, (and there's nothing wrong with it), here's how I'd do it. "Out" simply goes to wherever you connect your tone control to.
