More precise control to regain the right "feel" at the pot
A worn potentiometer can cause crackling, signal loss, or an unusable volume sweep. This Gibson 500k Ohm audio taper potentiometer is designed to restore a smooth and expressive response, whether you play with subtle pick dynamics or adjust your volume to clean up a distorted sound. The audio taper curve offers a gentler progression in the initial degrees of rotation, making "finger" adjustments easier both on stage and in the studio. In the long shaft version, it fits easily into configurations where a longer shaft is needed, while staying true to the spirit of components used on many electric guitars.
