Quote:I have a relatively new black Russian BMP (2006), and the pots are shot, they were super scratchy and when I tried to clean them the posts pulled completely out of the pot and I can’t get them back in. I would like to replace all 3 with something high quality (like my Fulltone ’69 fuzz, great build quality!), I don’t care if it means I need to get new knobs for it. I’m going for tone, not looks… Any ideas where to source really high quality pots that will fit into this model? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
Pots is pots, there’s no such thing as pots with good tone, they serve a purpose, tighter tollerances would be what you are after, but even that is finite.
Just get the pots with the right tapers and values from anywhere, most places will stock the same ‘Alpha’ Brand pots, they’re used in basically every pedal, from cheap to boutique, even Fulltone.
They’re mechanical, much like the foot switches and as such, tend to go bad as they are worked, however something can be said for not having them board mounted, but nothing related to the issue you discovered, it was just poor luck
Fulltone would use these – http://www.smallbearelec.com/Detail.bok?no=555
Smallbear also stock new knobs (I’m assuming you’re located in the U.S)Hope that helps.
