  • Question about Concentric Pots

    I just bought a concentric pot (500/500) for my Charvel Predator, but Im not sure which shaft controls which pot.

    Help!

    Turn one at a time and see which disc spins.

      Use a DMM and watch which lugs change resistance when you spin the knob.

          They're sealed pots, can't see the disc.

          Yep, mine's broken.

          Thinking about it; it would make sense that the middle shaft would control the bottom pot and the outer would control the top, but *shrug*, I have no way to be sure with out a MM, unless someone here knows.

          I really dont want to go out tomorrow to get multi-meter. All those damn christmas shoppers!

            Hook some jumper leads to it in a guitar, plug it in, and turn the knobs.

            The one I have is not sealed, but the center turns the bottom and the outer turns the top (closest to the knobs)
