The push-pull mechanism toggles the switch when the knob is pulled up, and returns to the previous state when pushed back down. Includes nut and washer. Split shaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePush-Pull vs Push-Push — What's the Difference?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth push-pull and push-push pots combine a standard potentiometer with an integrated DPDT switch, but they operate differently. A \u003cstrong\u003epush-pull pot\u003c\/strong\u003e requires you to physically pull the knob upward to engage the switch and push it back down to disengage — the knob position (up or down) gives a clear visual indication of the switch state. A \u003cstrong\u003epush-push pot\u003c\/strong\u003e uses a momentary press-and-release action to toggle the switch, with the knob staying at the same height regardless of switch state. Push-pull is the more traditional and widely used format — the visible knob position makes it easy to see at a glance whether the switch is engaged. For push-push, see the EP-0296-000.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Wiring Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe integrated DPDT switch can be wired for a wide range of switching functions without adding extra switches or modifying the guitar's appearance, including coil-splitting (splitting a humbucker to single-coil), series\/parallel switching, phase reversal, pickup on\/off switching, and active\/passive switching on active electronics. The switching function is completely independent of the pot's volume or tone control function.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003e500K — Audio Taper — Suited to Humbuckers\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 500K resistance value is the standard for humbucker-equipped guitars, preserving high-frequency content and brightness. The audio (logarithmic) taper provides a natural, smooth volume sweep that matches the human ear's perception of volume — the correct taper for a volume or tone control application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e EP-0286-000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 500K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTaper:\u003c\/strong\u003e Audio (Logarithmic)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitch Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Push-Pull DPDT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePull-Out Distance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreaded Portion:\u003c\/strong\u003e ~9.35mm diameter, 9mm tall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTotal Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 35mm (bottom of pot to top of threaded portion)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nut and washer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePush-Push Alternative:\u003c\/strong\u003e EP-0296-000 (500K Push-Push Audio Pot)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvailable at \u003cstrong\u003eReco Music Malaysia\u003c\/strong\u003e — \u003cstrong\u003eFree delivery for orders over RM100 to West Malaysia\u003c\/strong\u003e.
