Scratchy Pots
Dante:
My T100s has some serious scratch in the pots when I turn the volume up or down. I have tried cleaning them, which works for a short time, but I feel like I better just replace them.
Question: Can I use any ol' volume pot from the electronics store, or are these 'special' in some way?
Question Too: Am I looking for Audio taper pots?
Any info would be greatly appreciated
MarshallJMP:
Got a pic of them,my T100S is in my rack and it's pain to get it out.
Dante:
:thumb-up: Right!
I'll get a pic for ya, no worries. Thanks man
Dante:
Here y'go!
I opened up the unit and took several pix, but they all looked terrible. So, I decided to take the pots out to get a better look. Once I had them out, I sprayed them LIBERALLY with D-Oxit, wiped off the excess, and ran each pot through about a thousand cycles back & forth.
Problem solved...no scratchy pots, smooooooth as a baby's butt. :metal:
Pix for posterity ;)
TIP: Make your pix 800 pixels wide max
GuitarBuilder:
Those look like fairly standard audio taper pots, by the way, 50KOhm. They should be easy to find and replace if the scratchiness comes back.
