How To Make A No Load Guitar Blender Pot 

Great video! Would love to see a another one on swapping wafers in stacked pots for custom values / tapers.

I prefer the circular file since it leaves a notch that you can feel when you're on 10 and when you hit the carbon track

Love this. Thanks

thanks, good stuff!

Amazing video. Thank you! For a coil split blend mod, do you also need a no load pot?

Been doing this mod to all my guitars for 38 years. It was when I found out that Eddie Van Halen removed his tone caps. Don't know why it's not a factory standard.

You could produce a similar result by using a pot with a switch. Two possibilities, rotary switch pots, and pull switch pots. With a rotary switch you would go to "no load" with the knob fully counter clockwise, at "0", the opposite of this mod. Not a problem for a blend pot, no blend at zero, and full blend at 10, pretty much as intuition would expect. For a tone pot it would go from maximum treble cut just before zero, to no treble cut at zero. A little confusing, but I guess you could learn to live with it. A pull switch, any time you want no load, just pull the switch.

Very detailed instruction! Does it work with 50s wiring on les paul though?

What I'd you cut it further back? Would you get a more of a noticeable difference in tonal change?

Hello, I have a fender Excelsior amp. Was going to do the tone mod. Do you feel a no load would work for an amp? At 10 it would take out the tone?

Tried to replace pickups and switch today, and I screwed everything up.

whats the trick to get the pot to "click" when you get it to 10, so that you can actually feel the pot gets bypassed?

Forgive my ignorance. Does this simply replace the organge drop capacitor? If yes, why do we still use the Caps?
