The Steel Guitar Forum

gentlemen, I was watching my carter starter video yesterday it said concerning foot volume pedals that a person need tobe using a 500k volume pot instead of the usual 250k pots that come in most volume pedals and to install one for max performance in you pedal amp combo where can one get a suitable 500k pot and what are your thoughts on the entire pot subject now guys we are talking electronic pots nownot cannabis ok ha ha yours dennis n brown Pocahontas ark a true son of the south

Pot-type volume pedals aimed at steelers generally come with 500 k pots (or 470 k pots, essentially the same thing). Pedals marketed to armpit guitarists (such as Ernie Ball) are often 250 k, which is fine for the somewhat lower impedance of pickups in those instruments.

The Dunlop 470 k pot sold by forum member Tom Bradshaw (and others) is a fine choice for replacement.

If you do a search you'll probably find dozens of informative threads on pots here.

Dennis,

Professional volume pedals come with a 470-500k pot. This has been the standard in the industry for many years.

IMHO, Goodrich has the finest pot on the market today and they stand behind it 100%.

I sell the Goodrich volume pedals.



I also sell the volume pots separately and will even pre-wire it for you.



I will be happy to send you a price list if you will just email me.

Thanks,
Bill
