Prs SE One tone pot

[Xandeeno]

I want to install a tone pot into my prs se one (and replace its current volume one). Does anyone have any recommendation for pots to use (500k please) and where to get them? I have been looking at evh pots but apparently you need a special kind of knob which I cannot seem to find.
Thanks
(Also, should I get a tech to do this or attempt it myself)

1. Where are you located, that's going to be a factor for sourcing
2. Most likely it will be a 500k Linear taper pot, you will need a cap as well.
3. I am a Bourns man, but CTS is good, and even Alpha's do the trick

As for doing it yourself vs. a tech...how are you with a soldering iron?

I can handle a soldering iron, I’m in the uk. Any idea for where I can get some cts ones from a website that ships to Uk?

Should this be okay?
Also, do just need to buy two of those, or do I need to purchase other things for the volume and tone to function?

That should work, you will need a capacitor to turn it into a tone knob, otherwise it will act just like a volume knob.

Not sure if this place ships to the UK but this is the site I use.

Thanks, I’m assuming what I linked are legit cts pots. I think I’ll hand it over to a tech as this is my first modification project, does anyone know which capacitor I should be getting? (I’ll be ordering from all parts uk)
Only because they seem to support different voltages?
I was looking at this one

thanks for all the help
