Potentiometers

Quality guitar and amp potentiometers from CTS, Alpha, Bourns, Fender and Marshall. Choose from audio (log) and linear tapers in values from 4.7k to 3M, with solid and split shafts, mini, dual-gang, push-pull, switched and no-load pots for builds, upgrades and repairs. Remember: A cheap pot soon turns scratchy and noisy. A good one stays smooth for years, so it pays to get the right part first time.

A Audio (log) taper Resistance builds slowly, then climbs near the end of the sweep. It matches how we hear loudness, so it's the standard choice for volume controls.
B Linear taper Resistance changes evenly as you turn. Half-way gives half the resistance, but as a volume control it gets loud very early. Best for tone, trim and bias.
TIP Not sure which? Turn a virtual knob and compare tapers side by side in our Pot Taper Simulator. Taper letter codes vary between brands, so always check the listing.
