Anyone know of a source for those or have one they want to sell me? I need one for my other Boomerang.

They look like this: http://www.diyguitarist.com/DIYStompboxes/CTS-PotRebuild.htm
The one shown on that page is a CTS pot, but any similar pot would work. The main things of importance are the length of the threaded portion and the shaft length/diameter.

Well, I know, I have done that in the past. But I'd rather get an actual NOS 25K audio taper pot in this case... :icon_wink:

Hey Paul...I think I may have one I can shoot you. I'll check tonight and PM you.

ayayay!

Hey Paul.  If you can't find one I'm pretty sure I saw one at the Rat Shack just 2 days ago.  Y'know with the obnoxiously long shaft?  Perfect for a wah I'd guess...

Yeah, except that those cheap Alpha pots would probably only last a few weeks in a wah pedal...  :icon_confused:
