New - Redesigned - Completely new PCB, added options
- Unique Phase Shift Push/Pull Potentiometer By Scrinia Engineering California.
- Direct fit for Epiphone Les Paul guitars with 2 humbucker setup with coil split.
- Upgrade your Epiphone Les Paul Standard Pro to Custom Pro Specs.
Here's your chance to upgrade your Epiphone Les Paul Standard Pro to Custom Pro specification. The Neck Tone Pot drops right in, all connections by the guitar's Quick connectors - no other hardware needed. Instructions included on how to replace existing Tone pot.
Shaft Diameter is M8, No need for drilling - direct fit for Epiphone. (FYI Gibson Pots are 3/8", or ~9.5mm - i.e. the "thicker potentiometer shafts"). Please note Gibson Firebird body is too slim, this pot will not fit.
Also note the new 2020 Epiphone LP models, might be too thick for this pot, we advise and recommend our CTS version instead, please contact us and we will guide you.
included is:
- One A500k Audio Taker 500kOhm Push/Pull (Phase Shift) on Neck Tone pot
- 5 Pin Quick Connect on the Push/Pull Pot Epiphone connector
- 5 Pin Quick Connect on the Push/Pull Pot Gibson connector - NEW
- Standard capacitor is .047uF. However, I have .022/.033/.068uF available. Contact me before you buy and I can customize per your request - otherwise =>.047uF (47nF)
Note pictures of other potentiometers than the phase shift pot are included in the listing to illustrate the hookup (they are not included).
Fits Epiphone LesPaul, ES335 and other double humbucking Solid or Hollow Body Guitars pre-equipped with 2 Coil Splitting Volume Push/Pull pots
Comes with all associated mounting hardware for Pot.
Designed and manufactured by Scrinia Engineering, San Diego California.
So How does this work? (Note - you can place the pot on either bridge or neck position - the following description is written for the neck position )
The Les Paul Standard Pro model have the usual four knobs, but 2 of them has a push-pull switch. With the addition of this Phase switching Push/Pull on the Neck tone - there's a total of 3. These switches are the key to modifying your sonic options. In fact it’s possible to obtain 8 different, unique tones simply by choosing different switch combinations on the Volume Push/Pull pots alone. With the addition of the Neck Tone Phase shift Pot you are adding 4 additional sounds for a total of 12 sonic options. (Plus a kinky little surprise....keep reading...)
The Basics: All Knobs Pushed In
This gives the tried-and-true Les Paul wiring. The pickup selector chooses among neck, bridge, or both pickups. Two knobs control pickup volume, while the other two knobs control pickup tone.
The Sonic Seasonings of Coil Splitting
Both the neck and bridge humbucker pickups should have Coil Splitting By pulling up on one or both knobs to engage a tap, you now have eight possible pickup sounds in conjunction with the pickup selector switch (these all assume the neck tone control is pushed down):
- Neck only
- Neck Single Coil Split
- Bridge only
- Bridge Single Coil Split
- Neck + bridge
- Neck + bridge Single Coil Split (bridge volume knob up)
- Bridge + neck Single Coil Split (neck volume knob up)
- Bridge tap + neck Single Coil Split (both volume control knobs up)
Of course, if you involve the tone controls, there are even more potential sounds. But we’re not done yet.
Here's where the upgrade comes in -
Phase Me, Bro!
Pulling up on the neck pickup’s tone control changes the neck pickup’s wiring to out of phase. This gives another four sonic possibilities with both pickups selected (i.e., pickup selector in the middle position).
- Neck/phase + bridge (neck tone control up)
- Neck/phase + bridge Single Coil Split (neck tone control up, bridge volume control up)
- Neck Single Coil Split/phase + bridge (neck tone and volume controls up)
- Neck Single Coil Split/phase + bridge Single Coil Split (neck tone and volume controls, and bridge volume control, up)
But WAIT!! There'a more...
Although you’d expect a phase change to sound different only if both the neck and bridge pickups are selected, the Single Coil Split allows for one more option. Engaging the neck Single Coil Split (neck volume control up) and switching the neck tone control in phase (down) chooses the neck Pickup's inner slug coil, while out of phase (neck tone control up) chooses the outer screw coil.
In case you haven’t been keeping a scorecard, this all adds up to a total of thirteen distinct sounds just by switching the Coil Split and Phase switches.
So there you have it: the Standard’s sonic roster. This makes the Standard fantastic in the studio when you want to get various iconic guitar sounds without having to use electronics or outboard gear, but for live performance, being able to do all your switching by simply pulling or pushing knobs keeps things simple on stage. Pretty cool.
Note: Shipping to business addresses: Due to an abundance of lost packages - It will be the buyers responsibility to collect the item. Once USPS tracking shows picked up, it becomes the buyers responsibility no matter what happens after that point. I can not guarantee delivery to business addresses or mail/freight forwarders or PO Boxes - should you choose to have your item sent to one of these places it will be 100% at your own risk - as said - once picked up from me by USPS it is buyers responsibility. Please do not buy if you do not agree to this. I recommend providing a residential address, that way you are certain it will not get lost on the workplace :o)
