So, these are a great value and worked as expected. They sweep clean and enjoyed them for a brief time. But the push push style has eclipsed these, for me. Nothing wrong with these, but matter of preference.
Used for vintage Gibson led Paul pickup coil split .
For me I don’t love these as replacements for a Les Paul standard pots. I used them to make a Jimmy Page style circuit, but the taper means that you have maybe 20% of the throw as usable, there’s a very sharp falloff from full volume to mid then a slow decline before a sharp end drop off.
I also found that three of the four I ordered had noticeable crackle fresh out of the bag while turning.
You may or may not love the feel, these don’t have a great deal of resistance.
First time using this brand and now this will be the only brand and style I will use when upgrading my guitars and pickups. Nice push pull design and easy to solder.
Easy install, pull-push works perfectly, smooth turning with some resistance.
