Guitar Wiring Diagrams Push Pull Pot

The SPST CTS Push-pull Pots allow you to coil-cut the bridge pickup using a push-pull tone control. The other feature is that in the middle position of the pickup selector, the bridge pickup is out-of-phase with the neck pickup. In this setup, all pots are 500K-ohm. The bridge humbucker cannot be a 2-conductor pickup. The pickup must have a 3 or 4 conductor wire, plus a shield or bare wire.. These potentiometers are essential for controlling the volume and tone of your electric guitar, but understanding how to wire and use them can be a challenge. To help you out, here's a breakdown of the important features of CTS Push Pull Pots and a schematic diagram that will show you how to properly install and use them.

This guitar wiring modification shows how to use a two position double pole-double throw On/On mini switch or a standard push/pull pot to select series or parallel modes. In humbucker mode, the output will be strong with a smooth attack and a deep tone. In parallel mode, the sound will be very clean and sparkly with lower output. Note: Both series and parallel modes will be hum canceling.. Understanding push-pull potentiometers is a great way for you to know how to add extra functionality to your guitar without making any permanent changes.
