I ordered a SD blackout active preamp and the guitar shop apparently didnt realize when I said I needed it for a les paul that I also needed 4 pots and only got the chipped preamp pot and one other 25k pot. My problem is finding good 25k pots in Ontario other than EMG solderless pots. Just wondering if you can solder to the quick connect posts or the pot posts on the side and take quick connect chip off? Someone help me?!?

2) nearly ALL electronics components are mailorder-only these days, just about everywhere
it's not an Ontario or Canada thing... it's a disposable electronics don't get tinkered much, and the arrival of Amazon, Ebay, and Alibaba put everyone brick and mortar out of business thing"New stuff always sucks" -Me

Re: Solder to EMG solderless pots?
The EMG solderless pots have solder pads so they can be used with older, pre-solderless pickups. I installed an older EMG P in my Yamaha fretless last fall, and I used a solderless pot since I had some on hand. It was a gigantic PITA and I'd never do it again given the choice. These days when I need pots I just order a half dozen or so online since pots wear out and you'll need them eventually.Originally posted by crusty philtrumAnd that's probably because most people with electric guitars seem more interested in their own performance rather than the effect on the listener ... in fact i don't think many people who own electric guitars even give a poop about the effect on a listener. Which is why many people play electric guitars but very very few of them are actually musicians.
