Hi all, currently working on a guitar were space is an issue, so im having to swap the pots for concentric pots, the issue is the active EQ in this guitar has B100K pots, and i cant find anywhere selling concentric B100K pots.
I do how ever have a 500k/500k concentric pot so what size resistor would i need to use to bring a 500k pot down to 100k or as close as possible?
On the multi-meter readings from my concentric pot which is rated 500/500, are 462/482, in case thats important.
Thanks, Dave
EDIT: For future reference in case anybody else gets the same EQ circuit, the circuits in question are the MT2 and MT3 circuits from artec sounds, for which the official wiring diagram is this:
As not everyone is comfortable making new holes in there guitars and not all guitars are suitable for it anyway (quilted top guitars etc) here is how to wire one by replacing the pots with concentric pots:
Also of note is the official diagram is rubbish, and next to useless, these EQ boxes have to be put int he circuit before the volume control not after the volume, as most guitars are wired.
