Questions & Answers
To begin with, the tone of a 500k pot is brighter. It's most commonly associated with humbuckers. However, it is possible to solder it in this manner. However, for more sound, I recommend getting a Seymour hot rail or any other hot single coil pickup.
Yes, the 500k pots will make your humbucker sound clearer and brighter.
It's intended for use as a guitar volume potentiometer, not as a stereo volume knob.
The size should be consistent at all times. Do you need to double-check whether the amount is 250 or 500 thousand dollars? All SD pots have a short shaft and can be used with any flat top electric. So, like a Les Paul with a carved top, it's not long enough. Because their tops are thicker, they require a longer shaft to adjust properly.
Selected User Reviews For Seymour Duncan Smooth-Turning Pot (250k)
These perform admirably and are extremely smooth. Volume control, like all regular audio pots, only works from 10 to 8, and then drops to zero as soon as the 7 setting is reached. These should be redesigned as vintage taper pots that work from 10 to around 4 before cutting off volume. Given their small usable range, I'm not sure why anyone would use anything other than a vintage taper audio pot for volume control, but they work great for tone control, as do all regular pots.
Well, before I say anything else, let me tell you what I did: I have a Schecter Signature Pete Dean from the first series guitar that has captivated me since I first saw it and bought it. en general, es cómoda y me gustó mucho desde el inicio, pero después de trajinar con ella un tiempo, empecé a sentir sus deficiencias, primero ruidosa a morir, es decir, tenia que tener el volumen de los potenciometros de la guitarra al máx Okay, so I decided to make a significant improvement to my guitar by purchasing CTS Push Pull 500 K potenciometers (for Tone and Pastillas), Seymour Duncan potenciometers (for Volume), Orange Drop 022uf/400v condensadores (for Tone Control), and a copper braid. My guitar, on the other hand, improved by a factor of a hundred (or more), and I should also mention that it comes with components that leave a lot to be desired (Seores de Schecter Guitar). Apantalle mi guitarra, ruido fuera, cambié los contrles de tono ya sea en pocición full o sencilla, los micrófonos, a pesar de ser Duncan Desing, dan de qué hablar en el correcto sentido, y el control de volumen con lo Seymour Duncan, como mantequilla.
It's just a good part, not trash or gold, in my opinion. The pots made a small noise when you turned them out of the box (not tone wise, but when you turned them), which was easily fixed with a little spray cleaner. They sound good once they're installed, and they're quiet when you turn them on. They aren't as smooth as some of the pots I've previously purchased, but they are certainly capable. Pots are relatively inexpensive, and I'm not sure you're getting the best bang for your buck with these. Good, but not outstanding.
My professional background is that of an electrical engineer. I have been building electronics for years and buying quality potentiometers for under a dollar for many years but when it comes to my guitars I am willing to spend more to% br>br>I recently replaced the volume pot in my Gibson Flying V with one of these Smooth Turning Seymour Duncan pots; it was a pain to replace it, but the old one was anything but smooth. Disassembling the guitar, harvesting the old pot, and then soldering in the new one took about an hour; it's not work I enjoy, and I'd much rather be playing the guitar. br>br>Well, it was well worth the effort; the new pot lives up to its name; it spins very smoothly, and while it cost $10, it's a small price to pay to have your axe tuned for a little better performance. It's a physical characteristic in this case, because the pot is just a variable resister, and the action of the pot is very easy to turn, which I like. It doesn't stink in terms of tone; it sounds great, is silent, makes no noise, and is simple to turn; I used a Stratocaster knob because that's what I'm used to. If you need more volume or tone control, this is a must-have item. br>br> br>br>To all, good music!.
I purchased several for an upgrade on an Epiphone Les Paul, and they are of excellent quality, even better than the ones on my Gibson. They're made by Bourns, the same company that makes Gibson's pots, but they're built to Seymour Duncan's specifications. You wouldn't think they'd be that dissimilar, but I adore them. Turning has a great feel to it, and the volume and tone have increased as well. I would strongly suggest it.
These pots are fantastic. They are functional and have a good specification. I've been using these for a few years and have never had an issue with them. I also enjoy the feel of their smooth turns. They are pricier than other pots, but I believe they are well worth the money. And Seymour Duncan products are difficult to go wrong with.
To begin with. This potentiometer is extremely sturdy and well-made. There is plenty of soldering space in the pot, which is a nice bonus. For some reason, turning the knob brings a sense of fulfillment. It's silky smooth, but with a firmness to it. It makes me think that the original is embarrassed by it.
I was hoping that I would enjoy it. and I'm very pleased with it. br>br>I prefer to start with a flat eq on my amp and tweak it from there. Right away, the guitar needs to sound good. With the slight increase in highs, you've got it. When I roll back the tone on my guitar, it sounds exactly like it did before. br>br>Once again, thank you. I'll most likely put it on one of my other guitars.
