Replace tone pot with a push/pull pot ?

[slayer6699]

Hi guys my main 6string is the ibanez xp300fx(1 volume,1 tone,3 way switch)
Can i remove the tone pot and install a push/pull for push a 'full' 10 tone knob and for pull 'all straight to the jack' ???

Ya you can remove the tone pot. Just make sure it's wired properly. I've seen ppl do all kinda crazy .... in these guitars. You technically could remove the pot. Buy a nice looking switch and mount it in the hole. Instead of pushpull

Thanks!
Why to buy only a 'looking' switch and not something more useful?

An alternative that I think you might like would be the "no load" pot.

Basically when the no load pot is on its full tilt max position, the pot "clicks" and completely bypasses that pot going straight to the jack like you want, but when you take it out of that "click" setting, it operates like a normal tone pot.

Obviously you wouldn't be able to find a setting you want and get in and out of that setting by using the push-pull switch, but this would be a cool alternative.

i dont know off the top of my head what this cap is actually called but i saw wes hauch post about it on instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/p/BMiSyGCB50R/?taken-by=weshauch&hl=en

if you dont want the tone knob you could just take it out and glue one of these into the hole

A standard 500k push/pull pot will do. It's a pretty simple mod.
