Just installed this. Absolute gamechanger if you own a Strat (or tele)

Such a brilliant taper. Even though I had a fancypants TVT 'true vintage taper' pot in there before this new one makes the whole of the pot super useable throughout its range (brilliant with a fuzz face) and it's much lower torque so great for volume swells etc. 


Honestly it's so cheap for such an upgrade to the overall useability of the guitar.

    Thanks for the recommendation , I'll order some now. My previous faves ( prs branded) seem to be impossible to buy or ludicrously expensive, now.

    Been having loads of fun this afternoon getting lots more flavour and variations than my last vol pot could muster with the fuzz. Sounds like I have shares in them I know but it's made me disproportionately happy compared to say buying a new pedal.

    I’ve got no idea what you’re talking about and can’t quite get my tiny, pea-sized brain to understand how a pot could possibly make any difference, but I’ve bought one anyway so will give it a go at some point.

    hahaha

    So on my last volume pot with a fuzz face all the action was 10- all out fuzz, 9 - lovely bright crunch - 7 - glassy cleans and that was it. 

    On the new pot the adjustments are so much more gradual so you can get a lot more shades of each of those variations of tones.
