  • 3-way push/pull pot?!?

    Maybe a dumb question, but is there a such thing as a 3-way push/pull pot? I know the ESP/LTD George Lynch models have a push/pull for pickup selection (when down, the bridge humbucker is on; when up, the single coil neck pup is on), but they can't be on together at the same time. Is there a version that can be pulled up for both on together and then pulled up again for neck pup only?

    I never seen a 3-stage push/pull, and given the length it'd hafta be, I don't think I wanna see it [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/poke.gif[/img]

    You could also try a dual-stacked blend pot (which eliminates the phase problem) with a center detent so you know where the middle is. Only problem there is you don't have a volume control.

    You could also try a concentric pot with both wired for Volume.

      Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

      The concentric with both wired for volume is a great idea, though! [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

        I've never heard of such a beast. You could use a rotary switch (like on a PRS) for more pickup switching options, however.

          That's a great idea, too. Thanks!
