I need some help to replace the pot on my Crybaby

[satch]

Hi,

My crybaby's pot is not working properly and I would like to replace it.
I saw in a website 3 different pots:
- A wah potentiometer, used in some Fulltone-Pedals. 100k;
- High quality Wah Potentiometer, dust-sealed by a plasticd cap. 200k;
- Replacement pot for Wah. 100k.

Which one would you buy?

fulltone pot.

ive used them in a hundred wahs, without problems.

Waht are the differences between a 100k and a 200k pot?
Would I get a smoother transition from treble to bass?

  I just installed a 200k pot in my wah.
  Does nice smooth sweep, great for that slow freq. sweep w/fuzz in front sound.
  But I wanted to try more like 100k pot for that snappy "Shaft" sound.
  So I used a DPDT to add a 100k's from wiper to each outside potlug, this reduced the VR and value of the pot to 100k, and altered the sweep curve, I can't tell you if it's noticable but probably is and cool compared to the sweep curve of a 100k wah pot.
  I would say even lower value pot value tapering resistors like an 82k/100k or 82k/82k's across the potlugs via switch would give and even snappier response...my mental image of the sweep curve is that it would be sharper at either end of the pot as the tapering resistor values become smaller compared to the pot value...somewhere there are probably graphic charts of these curves, whatever the case, I have nice snappy or smooth wah sweep with the 200kpot/100kpot mod sw.

I personally like the Dunlop Hot Potz II. I have a Fulltone pot that I pulled out of a wah pedal that I fixed for someone, and it looks just like a cheap Alpha pot with a very thin resistive element. I can't see that lasting very long.
