Smooth operator

BGBartez 21.11.2021

I got this pot for my Les Paul as I did not want to install a push-pull tone knob. This is the perfect solution for my coil splitting, as it maintains full humbucker mode when at 10 while allowing me to dial in anything between split (1 coil only at 0 position) and humbucking mode.
Good quality, would buy again in a heartbeat.

If, like me, you very rarely ever use your tone pot, and you prefer the option of removing it from the circuit when not in use, this is a good option for you.

I've always found CTS pots to be of good quality, with good action and ratings always well within tolerance levels.

Not entirely satisfied

Adrian0072 20.08.2020

I'm not sure how I like the tone control on my guitar now. But perhaps I chose the wrong capacitor to go with it..? Maybe. Nonetheless, this is a sturdy pot and it turns great, smooth but not too smooth
