M
Mediocre push/pull pot
MrHero 23.03.2025
I bought this as a replacement for the *mini* push/pull that came with my guitar. To my surprise this TAD/CTS push/pull potentiometer is actually worse! The push/pull mechanism is not "snappy" at all, it feels like it's catching on something internally and the pot rotation is not smooth at all, it has a scratchy feel. It looks like the "Mojotone" version is the same pot (CTS), so beware of that one too. I will continue my search for a good quality pot.

Tight rotation
Hfor 04.05.2024
It has all the best traits - perfect precision, measuring at perfectly 500k, very tight rotation, and a tight push pull action. Very solid, great quality product. I'm very satisfied. Recommend this to everyone. It costs more than non CTS pots, but they have very loose rotation, and feel very flimsy, all of them, from the cheapest Harley Benton to the more expensive such as AllParts, etc. All of them are very flimsy, with extremely loose rotation. Only this CTS push pull pot I found to be very nice and tight.
