We’ve worked closely with CTS over the last year to create a wide ranging tone pot to get the most out of a guitar.

The actual mechanics are relatively simple, think of it as 2 “half pots”, a 250k logarithmic, running from 0-5, and a 1 Meg Linear, running from 5-10.

The advantage is that, unlike a straight 1 meg pot, the 250k range is large enough to actually use, giving that perfect vintage single coil tone time and again, and once you push past 5 (hitting a central indent to mark the change over) you’re into a whole new world of tonal possibilities, getting shimmering highs from even the darkest guitars.

We also supply this great upgrade pot with a choice of resistors, either a 82k, which gives a slight drop in tone at the change over, providing an audible reference point showing that you’ve moved into the 1 meg section, or a 220k resistor, which gives a straight sweep from 250 to 1 meg.

We're also trialling a choice of capacitors, ranging from 0.1 at the darker end of the spectrum, right through to the incredibly bright 0.001s – as a rough guide, 0.022 is a standard cap used in most single coil guitars nowadays, and increasing the value will result in a darker tone, decreasing goes brighter.
