Hi all!

I've not posted here for almost three years, but I have just had to re-wire my 'six-banger' electronics and have some left over parts some of you may be interested in.

I created a twelve position 'varitone' tone control that sounds beautiful with my P90.

A Varitone is essensially a switch for choosing different tone capacitors.

Mine has 12 different positions and each tone sounds great, I'm really pleased with it in my six string CBG.

I had enough bits left over to make two more. 

I have no immediate use for them, so I have put them up for sale on ebayUK

There's a lot more info on them on the listing, so please take a look if you're interested.

I hope you don't mind me posting a link here.

I have attempted to add a picture here, it shows my switch mounted with a pointer-knob and a watch-face for a dial. I think it finishes it off really nice.

Thanks for reading, and if you'd like more info on how to make one for yourself, I'd be happy to help.

Cheers!

  • Oh Oh Oh...I'm a huge supporter of tone pots......I'm adding you as a friend...got a custom build coming up.....will you think you'll have any problem shipping too Canada?

    • Glad you like!
      I don't think Canada should be any problem. I'd have to wrap them up tight though!

      I don't know how much the shipping would be, though. You can contact me via the ebay listing if you want to figure out a price for shipping.

      Thanks,

      Matt

  • that's  hella cool

      ;-) 

    • Cheers, pick!

      Looks cool, but the best thing is the tone. I can get bright tones to cut through the bass, or reach some pretty convincing 'woman-tones'. (Clapton's fingers not included ;) 

      • yeah  i  bet  ..  i'm  intrequed  ..  and Canadian also   lol.
