sjaguar13 Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 I want to get rid of the two tone knobs and make it a push-pull knob. Would I need 500k, or would 250K work? Also, I need a knob with a rotary DPDT switch in it. Anyone know whrere I can find these two knobs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reaper Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 get rid of the two tone knobs? They can function with the push-pull function, you know... Stewmac.com carries 'em. Use 500K if you have humbuckers (I think...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feylya Posted June 29, 2003 Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 AFAIK, it's 250K for hummers and 500k for single coils. As for the switches, it depends where you're from but you shuld be able to get them in any decent electronics shop or even a music shop.

I thought it was the other way around.... 500 for the humbucker... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjaguar13 Posted June 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2003 I want a pot with the switch, not a seperate switch. It must be double throw. I only need a single pole, but double would work. I can't find a 500k pot with a rotary switch that is double throw. I'd even take a push/pull switch that's double throw. I found a couple of sites that have them, but they don't mention the throws. I'm guessing they are single. StewMac has the one, but I don't get the on/on thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted June 30, 2003 Report Share Posted June 30, 2003 Try a deeper look around AllParts, it takes some digging but they have almost everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The on/on means it's a straight toggle between two positions (what you need for phase switches, coil taps, etc., and is probably what you're looking for). I've never seen a rotary DPDT for sale...

krazyderek Posted July 9, 2003 Report Share Posted July 9, 2003 AFAIK, it's 250K for hummers and 500k for single coils..... traditionaly it's actually the exact oposite, the higher the resistance, the thinner or "hotter" it will sound and since humbuckers have twice the coils, then have twice the bass and need something to hotten them up a bit ( i think the explination goes something like that) anyways it's mostly about preference. But i've heard good things about using 1 meg tone pots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Power Violence Posted July 13, 2003 Report Share Posted July 13, 2003 www.guitarelectronics.com has a nice selection of all kinds of knobs and stuff, I like the Fender TBX things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
