mojo 30% taper pots?

Post by Chris Brown »

Has anyone tried the 30% taper pots from mojotone? I just grabbed a couple of 250Ks and a 500K for my upcoming build. The 500K is knurled only but the 250Ks are solid shaft.

I will have to try a couple and see how they plot against the new CTS 30% tapers from the guitar parts outfit in Germany. The German outfit the tapers are normally about 27-28% and shafts are knurled, but I have used shaft bushings on them. If these from Mojo work out, there's a domestic supply and it beats searching the earth for vintage Fender pulls for a correct taper pot.

Now only if they will get a batch made in 1Meg!!!

Hello, Fender sells CTS 30% taper pots in 250k and 1 meg. They call them J taper.

Hello, CTS labeled their linear 1 meg pots 999k to make it easier to tell them from audio ones.

Sorry Chris, your question was is H taper 25% and I don't know but I do know anytime you see the 999k pots they are linear. I purchased one also.

As far as I can tell Fender H taper is 25% but the HDs aren't H taper.

5 each for 2-35 is awesomeness... I haven't been able to find any that I could afford until now. :D
