Does anyone know where I can get one? The little slider part of my +2 Detune pot snapped off. Still works, but a lot harder to change settings on now.I just want to see if I can fix this for real instead of using the usual 'glue a bunch of stuff to it' method. Any help is appreciated.

maybe contact EHX and ask to buy one from them. or try the new sensor shop.

Did the white cap break off, or the metal part? You can buy caps through Mouser, and same goes for slide pots. Might wanna check there.

the white cap and the little shaft its attached to snapped off. mouser, digikey, allied, and all the usual other suspects had nothing with the same dimensions. The pots themselves are actually plastic and board mounted, hence my difficulties. I sent an e-mail out to EHX already but hadn't thought of new sensor. Thanks for the suggestion.

And this is why, when people ask about using slider pots in pedals for purposes of adjusting them with your feet, I suggest it's not such a good idea.  If this is what happens when you use your fingers, one can imagine the problems that would ensue trying to use your feet.

I might also point out that where a pedal normally doesn't really care all that much what the diameter of the pot body is behind the hole, it cares VERY much about the physical shape and dimensions of a slider pot.  Note that, in this instance, goodrevdoc has to get an exact replacement, not just whatever he can find of the same value.

Just a friendly reminder. :icon_wink:
