| Anyone ever have this problem? Goodrich gets something like a tight spot in the middle of the travel and then eases back up again. I haven't had the string off, but you seem to be able to roll the pot without resistance with your fingers. Thanks, Jack. |

| It's generally an issue with the string winding or pulley alignment, I've encountered it a time or two after changing pots. |

I use the Goodrich L120 and have had the same problem described. Tried all the obvious 'fixes', string adjustment, alignment of pulley, and the lightly lubing the bronze bearings; no effect. Mine was fixed by putting a drop or two of 3-in-one oil on the pot shaft next to where it goes into the pot. Is still smooth after many jobs.
Thanx,
Jim |

Yes! The pot shaft, even a new one, should be oiled!
(I guess everybody doesn't know that.  ) |

It's hard to find really good consistant pot~quality nowadays! I just got a brand new volume~pot that had a dead~spot about half way ON and also a hard bind. Nothing solved the problem but to try another pot that didn't have a dead~spot and bind half way ON! {Quality~Control¡}

Maybe it's time to try the LDR pedal. I have the earlier version, and just got the new Goodrich LDR2 - it is an astonishingly good pedal. With only poor quality pots available these days I would suggest you give the LDR2 a try -- you won't be disappointed!! And you will never have to worry about pots and strings packing up again !
