MetalZone Pots

[New Frontier]

Anyone knows where to find pots like the ones used on the Boss MZ. The ones wich have two independent controls ?
The site below has many pots, but I don't know how to describe it.. Tkx

dual concentric pots

More to the point, where do you get the knobs for those pots?

But doesn't missing knobs make it look like more of a "metal" pedal? :wink:

I remember picking up a few dual concentric pots. I need to look around - I thought they might be very valuable for tone controls, but I never found the knobs.

apparently some music stores carry them - but they're rather big, and if youre unlucky they want knurled shafts. I've found a nice metal pair (meant for modding a bass for more EQ possibilities without harming anything) that accepted 6 and 4 mm shafts with a tension screw at Musik Produktiv, but I can't find it now...

*edit*:
for the european customers at least:

as for knobs, you can get jazz bass replacements (pricey, though), or pull some from old car radios or thrift store hi-fi components.

I was looking for the same thing last fall. Do a search on the topic:

Looking for some (apparently) hard-to-find pots...

Smallbearelectronics (Steve?) replied with the following:

"I talked today with a guy a Roland who is willing to let me order spare parts there. So drop me a private message with model of the pedal, serial number and description of the part, and I'll try to get it for you."

So I bet if you email him requesting the pots & knobs, he can probably get them. Good luck.

I *might* be able to find dual concentric 25K pots.

These can be used for tone controls pretty easily.

The question is, does anyone want them based on these limits:

The are PC mount pots (i.e. made to go into a board) but you can solder on them.

They do not come with washer/nuts. ( I could probably find the matching size).

If so, I will try and see if they are still available.

well if you needed a 500k concentric pot you might wanna check WD Music Products as thats pretty much what you need :| im not sure if its the right value... but it was worth a shot

but damn thats expensive... £25   but it does have a cool black knob  :lol:
