Two Gang Push-Pull Pots

[leon2982]

Hello: I accidentally bought 2-gang Bourne's pots. Can I still use a standard wiring diagram and just stick to the same gang on all four pots?:

Yeah, just use one set of lugs and ignore the second set.

So it's a concentric pot with push-pull? Nice. I asked at their booth at Summer NAMM in '04 if they made one, but they didn't.

It's not concentric, it's dual-ganged, meaning one shaft controls two wafers the same way. I can't think of too many useful uses for that in a passive guitar circuit.

I can, what's the part number?

Concentric pot with push-pull would be very cool. Or a push-push. But I don't think anybody makes them.
Seems to me that a ganged 250K/500K pot (or dual-concentric) could be pretty useful too.

I got mine from Mouser Electric in El Cajon, CA. They're Bournes, Mouser part number 652-PDB183GTR21504A2. The Bournes part number is PDB183-GTR21-504A2.

Re: Two Gang Push-Pull Pots

i just bought some pots and switches from this guy (bargainmusician2011) on eBay; super cheap. i chatted with him briefly. he said he gets them made for his company from one of the few potentiometer manufacturers. He has push-pull and standard in 500 and 250k and audio or linear taper.
