Canadian 500K pots log taper pots
I have found out that a large electronics parts house in my area can get the 500k log taper pots for in your pot pedals. If I buy 25 I can get them for a little bit better price. I just put on in my goodrich and they are nice pots. Built very well. If I can get 25 sold I can get them out to you for $20 shipped. Please let me know and I will keep a list and if I get enough sold, I'll put in the order. They have a few on hand and I bought one to try it, they are nice.

I would be in for one, provided I could get some expert confirmation that these are heavy duty pots with the proper taper. I only say this because there has been some contradictory reporting on just exactly what is the correct pot for VPs, leaving me a tad confused.
edited to acknowledge that you wrote that you tried one and liked it---so you are satisfied with the taper?<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Jon Light on 15 November 2005 at 04:56 PM.]</p></FONT>

I put one in a goodrich 120 tonight that had a worn out pot in it. After I adjusted it, it felt fine and sounded good. To look at the pot, it is made in the same manner as the Allen Bradley or the Clarostat. It is a 500k log taper pot. It is going to be the same as an Allen Bradley pot? I don't know. There is only one Canadian company, making heavy duty pots like this. And after all....we are only talking about $20. It's not like I am trying to sell these to get rich off them. I found a local distributor who carrys them and I am trying to pass them on at a reasonable price.

Jon,
You're not being picky at all. If you search log taper on the electronics section, there is some intresting information on this subject. (the forum always has great info as a resource). The term audio taper and log taper refer to the fact that human hearing hears volume increases in a logrithmic manner as oppose to a linear increase. This is why audio devices (volume pedals included) use log taper of audio taper pots (log=audio). I found this very intresting.

Bill, Do you take Paypal? I costs me more than $20 to take off work and drive to get a money order.
If you take paypal, I could buy 2 pots.
