I was recently asked this questions ..................

Yep, guaranteed to make your tube amp blow the balls off a charging rhino at 50 paces. Or get you really goofed up, your pick

what kind of beer do you like?

Free preferably lol but low budget works just fine too

I don't know what they did on my SG Modern, but it works. When you split the coils/tap whatever it is you go from a full range humbucker to a midrange heavy single coil sound with no volume drop and no mudiness. I like it.

My Godin Session has pull push which splits the Bridge Humbucker to single coil, is stock on this model. It's a nice feature..

I did not mean push pull splitting. Many guitars have that. What I have never seen is combo 500/250 pots on push pulls. However, I did some research and apparently, this can be accomplished by wiring a resitor on a regular push pull. I am going to look at my guitars and schematics again.

No kidding? I thought most stock guitars used this but hell, i might be incredibly wrong lol i saw them on a few Fender Strats and Teles and have seen them in some basses oddly enough. Now whether or not that was stock? Im now debating myself lol but i figured that would have been the norm if a manufacturer was shooting for a great coil split

Here's what they look like

I saw that pic. That is not a push pull. It is for use with concentric knobs.

Okay, I need to correct this error right now. This is soooo wrong.

The tone is in the strap buttons.

FIFY. It is in the Rubber Grolsch Washers some players use for Strap Locks

Tone is in the gear. Technique is in the fingers. I like pot. Fite me.

I have two guitars with the push pull pots never use the single coil pull

Ah, correction! So indeed, what ive seen was not stock but rather aftermarket and rather intricate, but here it is.

I had one. It was more boring than a $50 Fender combo with an 8 inch speaker.

the tweaker didnt tweak?!?!?!?!?! but but -- its boutique and such --- how can this be?!?!?!

That’s not an unusual complaint about the Tweaker. The idea is that the tone is neutral enough that you can “tweak” it to get your own tone.

It’s an interesting idea, but many find it to be bland as a result.

At one time I considered buying one, but passed on the idea after awhile.

PRS does this on several models. 1.2kOhms for the neck pickup and 2.2kOhms for the bridge if I remember correctly.
