Gibson Potentiometer for Gibson Electric Guitars
zZounds Gear Experts Say...
As a replacement or as part of a new guitar project, official Gibson potentiometers are a dependable, high-quality choice for your volume and tone knobs.
Overview
Gibson potentiometers are designed for volume and tone knobs on Gibson electric guitars.
Audio taper potentiometers are traditionally used for guitar volume controls. With this type of pot, resistance changes gradually at first, then more rapidly as you turn the knob up -- just as human ears perceive loudness: on a logarithmic scale instead of linearly. On a guitar volume knob, this results in a smooth, natural volume increase, so you don't get a big jump in the first small turn.
Linear taper potentiometers are traditionally used for guitar tone controls. With this type of pot, resistance changes evenly across the knob's entire rotation, which means you get a consistent change from an electrical point of view. On a guitar's tone knob, this results in a gradual reduction in high frequencies, smoothing off the "edge" of the sound and revealing more of the underlying lows and mids. Though they're traditionally used on tone knobs, Gibson linear taper potentiometers can also be used for volume for that vintage Gibson feel.
