Questions & Answers

It can be used for tone control, right?

Despite the fact that you can do it, it won't yield the results you want. We are dealing with an audio pot here. The function of this control is mainly to adjust the volume. There is a linear nature to tone pots. Put the pickups on your table top, hold your phone above them, and listen to some music from there you will be able to hear the difference and feel it. When I tried this in the tone position, I didn't like it at all. Thus, I switched it to volume and it results in the same results as before

Can I use the original knobs from my fender on these pots, or will I have to buy new ones from Dimarzio?

A DiMarzio pot can be paired with any knob found on an American guitar. It is necessary to replace the knobs on import guitars such as epiphone, squier, ibanez, LTD, etc.

Would it be possible to use this as a volume control and kill switch at the same time?

In short, yes. There is no relationship between the volume pot and the switch. Potentiometers and switches can be used together, or either of them may be used. Due to its DPDT design, the switch can be used in many different switch configurations. They have diagrams on their Website to demonstrate how different configurations can be achieved.

Does it have a long shaft or a ?

It has a shaft between 8 and 10 millimeters

Selected User Reviews For DiMarzio 500K Push-Pull Pot

It's a good product, but not what I was looking for
4/5

The construction is of high quality. Although this product is not a problem for me, as it turns out the knob I bought from Amazon that came with it needed a longer shaft (DiMarzio no longer provides this option directly to the customer). It is not possible to use the black DiMarzio knob with As far as DiMarzio is concerned, long shaft versions are not available. Its guitar series of pots offer quite a range of configurations, as well as a wide selection of electrical components There are taperers. From Digi-Key I received a series of PDB183s I need a Schecter key to fit the machine. A digital format Among the other products that Key has are a huge selection of film capacitors (such as Orange Drops and carbon comp resistors), which you won't find anywhere From Amazon, you can get your Sanwa kill switches.

In my life, I needed this
5/5

I installed this on my 1986 Fender MIJ strat to switch the Gravity Storm bridge pickup from serial You get a great tone without any buzz or hiss. had to sand a little bit of the hole in the guitar band to make it fit through, but its great! I was able to use the original Fender knob as well.

If used appropriately, this can be very effective
5/5

(If set up properly by an expert) these units are effective. With my 1992 Ibanez 770 and DiMarzio evolutions, it sounds as good as it ever has. Electronics by DiMarzio are exclusively used by me. The coil phase and tap in my HHH (the middle one is a stack single profile) is a piece of art.

A short and wide shaft, so be sure to keep it in mind when choosing
5/5

Had I not taken the old one out first and measured it, I may not have noticed that the new one is a little shorter and wider. I just had to drill a small hole and no washer was needed to make the piece It sounds as good as it should again, and I expect that this will last for a number of years.

The pot is good, but be careful! Pot that is of very high quality
4/5

This pot may not work with all knobs because some knobs will not fit on the stem. Before I found one that would fit, I had to try three different sets. Despite all that, it was still extremely tight.

Before installation, it is very important to watch the installation video
5/5

The switch fits just like the original, has the same wiring and works just as it should.

From DiMarzio, quality you can count on
5/5

We installed this on a PRS to bypass the tone/volume control. Pulling the cable in and out gives it a great tactile feel. Noises like popping and crackling are not present. The quality of the product is excellent.
