Simple question. Can I replace the stock pot im my gcb-95 with one of these 200k pro pots? Will I have to modify ? If I do, what would that entail? Are there benefits? Drawbacks? Not such a simple question I guess.

No problems. There was a tread on here about Teese's wah pots supposedly being ICAR tapered but having a 200k reading on them. In it he claimed that he got a hold of a vintage ICAR pot that had a 200k value. He said he really liked the sound of it over the normal 100k pots and had his new ones made to this value. Believe it or not...
:roll:

The Pro Pot is a knock-off of Teese's new Roc-PotII 200k pot. I got one recently and put it in my clyde clone and it sounds great and they are made really well to boot, better than the Fulltone. At first I had problems with Teese saying his pots are 100% like the original, but who knows. Maybe he really did get a hold of 200k ICAR pots?
