Wah Pots..The Ones We Can Buy

[STRATDELUXER97]

I've been messing with several different wah pots both old and new...I've tryed the Roc Potz,The Roc Potz 2 (Both Dunlop pots and I hope I have the models correct?) The Fulltone and a product called the Pro Pot that I got from Banzai Electronics in Berlin..This last pot is one that reads over 200k...I Like Teese's pots alot,but they are currently unavailable to purchase unless you buy one of his wahs...

But: My favorite still,is the Fulltone 100k pot simply because it has a quick and very responsive feel about it..I Like the short quick sweeps,as I feel it gives me more control at the toe down positions to get those fast and very vocal "White Room" sweeps...The add on of a "Q" pot allows you to manipulate the sweep and the character and taper of the sweep...

If you want to upgrade your wah,check out the Fulltone pots and inductors...I've had great outcome using his replacement parts..His switches seem to be holding up pretty good also...So far?

As far as inductors...I Like Teese's the best,followed by the Fulltone...The current Dunlop Red Fasel I've used also and it works well in the circuit also...

Have you tried (or heard anything about) the Roger Mayer/Northstar Audio 200k pot?

I haven't tryed that pot yet,but I almost bought those pots when I bought the Banzai 200k pots....I feel the 200k taper is too long of a sweep for my tastes and I also feel the taper is different from Teese's 200k pots with the white gears..So far the Fulltone pots are my favs..I like the Fulltone wahs better than the Teese stuff and Fuller uses his own 100k pots..
