Highly recommended upgrade from push/pull pot
I use a pot switch in my guitar as a burner switch to drop volume and tone pots out of the connection for boost in volume and treble, which is currently the "default" position. This way I can dial in lower volume, or darker tone as "secondary" tone and switch to it in push up the pot, and back to full-on sound on next.
Previously I used push/pull pot, which isn't bad, but compared to push/push, the use is kinda awkward. Since pushing is simpler than pulling, operation is faster and more fluent. Also pulling on the previous push/pull pot, it always resonated with the guitar making the strings ring out which sounded bad especially with distortion, this isn't completelly free of such, but it's not as prevalent.
The pot isn't loose, yet neither is it the stiffest pot I've had, it's nice midway. Slow swells can be done with pinky finger, but if you are looking for pot that you can flick from 0-10 in an instant, this likely won't work for you. The pot seems to stay in its position well and doesn't change accidentaly unless you really hit it. I don't need to be checking the volume and occasionally noticing it has gone down on it's own. I think certain level of stiffness is required to keep the position of the pot when pushing the switch in hurry. I'd say it feels higher grade than looser pots.
The pot and switch seem sturdy. I can't say for durability as of yet, but will update if I notice degredation. If this breaks after resonable amount of time, I'd probably get new one. Only downside I have with this, and pretty much all pot switches I've encountered, is the small holes in the terminals and tight spacing on the switch part which is kinda annoying when you are soldering the connections, hence one star off in quality. Getting more than 1 wire into the terminal is huge struggle, if not impossible with average gauge wire.
