Features
Another Lindy Fralin original design! Lindy took our popular Blender Pot and designed a Push-Pull variation. Experience another layer of tonal configuration with Fralin Pickups Push Pull Blender Pot. This Custom Push-Pull Pot incorporates the Blender Pot element to allow you to blend and split at the same time. There are many uses for this pot, so let’s get into some cool ideas!
This Push-Pull Pot’s Shaft is 1/2″, long enough to go into Les Pauls!
Blender Pot With Coil Split:
With this modification, you can use the Blender Pot, like normal, but use the Push-Pull switch section to split any Humbuckers you may like. This is a great modification when we hear customers who want a Blender Pot on their HSS Strat, but also like to use the Tone 2 as their Split.
Blender Pot Coil Split (Partial Tap):
Just like the above-mentioned modification, except this time, with a Partial Tap Resistor. This helps any Low-Output Humbuckers achieve a more convincing single-coil tone when split. Furthermore, you can run the Blender Pot separately to achieve a blend of Single Coil & Humbucker tone.
Blender With Phase Reverse:
This modification allows you to reverse the phase of one pickup, then use the Blender Pot to blend between fully in, and out-of-phase tones! Lindy uses this on a custom Telecaster with 2 P90s. He will pull up, giving him an out-of-phase tone. Then, using the Blender Pot Element, he can dial in just the right amount of Phase Reversal – pretty cool!
Blend-Tone Mod
We’re excited to introduce the Fralin Blend-Tone Push-Pull Pot—the most versatile Telecaster tone mod yet! Designed by Derek Harwell, this simple upgrade gives you both a traditional tone control and a smooth pickup blender in one convenient pot.
How It Works
• Down Position: Functions as a standard tone control (full brightness to rolled-off treble)
• Up Position: Bypasses the tone cap and becomes a blender pot, cross-fading infinitely between bridge and neck pickups
No-Load Push Pull Pot:
Our Blender Pot element takes the pot completely out of the circuit when it’s on “10”. This means that you can use this Push-Pull Pot as a No-Load pot! A great example would be a No-Load Tone Pot. Simply wire the pot section like a normal Tone Pot and the Blender Pot as needed!

Love those push/pull blender pots
Great response on answering my questions.
Thanks -
Lindy always has great ideas. This has to be my favorite. Variable Tone or Blending is just a click away.
For years I could never stick to standard Tele wiring or Broadcaster wiring. Would rewire my Tele time and time again between the two. No more back and forth rewiring for me.
It is worth the extra money for this pot for the wiring schematic. -
Love the blender pot, and the ability to blend in just the right amount of neck pickup with the bridge, gives my guitar a whole range of tones that were not available before. Easy to install using the provided wiring diagram.
-
This is a really fun and useful modification. Your Telecaster can operate entirely normally, or you can pull up the tone control and blend the two pickups together in any proportion you choose. For me, using the bridge pickup and blending in just a touch of the neck pickup sounds great. I need to experiment more, but I would recommend this to anyone.

I installed this in a Tele, using what I’m calling the “dual-action single pot Blend & Tone diagram”. It definitely delivers some sounds that are not available without it. Clever circuit, I agree, thanks Derek Harwell! However, what’s not mentioned in the description is that once the Blender (Pull-up) position is engaged, the Tone control option is completely bypassed, and this brighter sound may not be what your amp (or ear) is expecting. Of course this, (minus the Fralin ‘dual action single pot’ control, but instead just a simple ‘Broadcaster Blender’ control pot) is exactly what the ’52 Broadcaster used. Even today there’s some beautiful contemporary Tele players that use and love this simple Broadcaster Blender pot option (I know Rick Holmstrum is one of them). Also, after hanging with this Harwell circuit and Fralin pot setup for a few days, I have to wonder if the ‘Broadcaster Blender’ pot was in Roy’s ’53 ‘Nancy’ Tele? Does anybody know? If you have a Tele (or two) you should probably check this Fralin pot out. Thanks, Lindy.

This blender pot is amazing!! Total upgrade in my guitar. I wish they come in push/push option. Will definitely buy a couple more of there. 100% recommended.
-
Customer service at Fralin is great. The new pot came quickly and is of amazing quality. Now, if I can figure out how to wire it in my guitar I’ll be good to go!
-
Great support, good pots, very overpriced
Pots are of quality build and compare very closely with other competitors but are very expensive compared to the rest of the market. The support, however, is second to none. -
Had to call for some help wiring it but the guys at Lindy Fralin pickups walked me right through it. Wired it as a phase selector and it sounds great.
