Super pots vs standard 500k cts pots

JPizzzle · 01-29-2008, 04:06 PM

Hey all,
I'm changing out the caps pots in my gibson lp standard, and was wondering if there was a reason to stick with the regular cts 500k pots over the rs cts superpots for volume. thx

I prefer the superpots. Really nice and smooth, great taper.
I'm sure there are some that prefer the standard CTS 500K audio pots.

by the way, they are only for volume, not for tone controls.

Superpots all the way. I'm going to the Nashville Guitar Show (9-10 Feb), and having more installed right there at the show.

Best pot for my money. (That sounded wrong)
