Anyone use CTS pots in amp builds? The ones I've installed in my guitars are pretty smooth right off the bat and never given me trouble. But, I picked some up to use in an amp build and the rotation doesn't feel nearly as smooth. Strange because I wouldn't expect them to be any different than the full size guitar pots in terms of quality, aside from values. I'm using an Alpha (dual) for PPIMV and it is much smoother feeling than the CTS's. For anyone using CTS's ... do you find that they smooth out some with use?
I'd probably just go ahead and use Alpha's, I haven't had many problems with them, but they are all over the place in terms of tolerance. I really would rather not buy a bunch of Alphas to go through to select ones close to listed value (10% anyway, on the lower values).
