Potentiometers

The Bradshaw “Type J” 470K-ohms Audio Taper Potentiometer

Price: $35.00 – Shaft length: 1″
Domestic shipping included.

Basic Truths: I’ve shipped over 8,000 of these pots. They are military grade (“Type J”) and are guaranteed for a million cycles. Don’t expect to replace one of these for several years or perhaps never! I have not found a foot volume pedal that this pot will not fit.

The volume-output taper is gradual (logarithmic scale), quiet and with minimal resistance. The pot’s shaft length of one inch, assures that your pedal’s spindle will fit securely.

My pots come with complete installation instructions, and are actually quite simple to solder in. If you would like to read those instructions, ask me to email you a copy. The instructions also reference a video to assist in re-installing the rotation string, a requirement in about every volume pedal manufactured. If your current pot requires a gear, let me know and I’ll include a new one for you.

If you are most likely replacing a 500K (ohms rated) pot, the small difference in the ohms of this replacement pot won’t make a difference since all pots vary in resistance up to 15%. Trust me; “this pot will smoke all the others” (pardon the pun)!
