blend pot as treble/bass cut?

[Jef Bardsley]

If it helps, I've found you can take a 500K/500K dual concentric CTS pot and replace the lower resistive element with one from a regular 1Meg pot (the upper element has a different center hole). This is how I did separate bass/treble controls on my PRS copy.

This makes me think you might be able to swap out the 250K element in Fender's TBX pot for a 500K.

Not if you want the center detent to be no load or "neutral". The 250K element in a TBX pot is a 250K audio taper pot from fully CCW to the center detent & then open from there to fully CW.

True. My bad (again). You'd have to use the proper element from a blend pot.


Sometimes, it's so hard to get all the thoughts into words....

Well, I abandoned my thread and following this one closely since we're after the same goal.

Awaiting the blend knob and TBX I bought online, but I also may just wire a cap in series with a push-pull to engage a fixed Low cut filter. I don't know yet.

what about a push/pull pot?
wire a LPF to one side of the switch and a HPF to the other?
