Guitar & Amp Potentiometers

Guitar & amp potentiometers, shipped Australia-wide

Buy CTS, Alpha, Bourns, Fender and Marshall pots online: audio (log) and linear tapers from 4.7k to 3M, plus mini, dual-gang, push-pull, switched and no-load pots.

Choosing the right pot: tapers, values and shafts
Audio (log) taper (A) 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.
Linear taper (B) 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.
Not sure which? Compare tapers side by side in our Pot Taper Simulator. Taper letter codes vary between brands, so always check the listing.
Guitar pots: 250k or 500k? 250k pots suit single-coil pickups and soften the highs. 500k pots suit humbuckers and keep them bright. 1M pots give the brightest tone of all.
Solid or split shaft? Solid shafts take knobs held on with a set screw. Split (knurled) shafts take push-on knobs. Check your knobs before you order.
Scratchy pot? Contact cleaner can quieten a noisy pot for a while, but a worn track keeps coming back. A cheap pot soon turns scratchy; a quality CTS, Alpha or Bourns pot stays smooth for years.
