Stacked 100ks for OD level/trigger/taper/ratio

[aflynt]

I'm thinking of switching to stacked pots for the OD section on the front of the amp to add user adjustable trigger and hf taper controls. Anyone know of a good source for dual concentric 100k linear pots of decent quality? I'm just seeing the Fender branded smaller Alphas online.

Also, what are people's thoughts on shielding the trigger wires? I.E. - noise vs hf loss.

Allparts has CTS full-size concentric pots, but only 250 and 500k. They look like the standard CTS, so there's a chance you could swap out the elements. https://www.allparts.com/EP-4586-000-CT ... _1444.html

Thanks Martin! I'll check that out. Maybe try it with a dual ganged cts first as a test if I have one already.

... or maybe the elements from a dual 100k pot could be swapped into the concentric pot.

Not the cheapest in the world, but it's at least A-B.
