Guitar Potentiometers – Precision Tone Control for Your Instrument
Guitar potentiometers (or “pots”) are key components in shaping the sound and response of your electric guitar. Whether you're adjusting volume, shaping tone, or activating advanced wiring options like coil splitting or series/parallel switching, high-quality pots ensure smooth performance and accurate control. At Tube Amp Doctor, you'll find a carefully curated range of guitar pots from trusted brands like CTS, Alpha, Fender, and TAD – perfect for repairs, tone upgrades, or custom guitar builds.
High-Quality Guitar Pots for Vintage, Modern and Custom Guitars
Our selection includes industry-standard values like 250K pots for single coils and 500K pots for humbuckers. Choose from top-tier options designed for reliability, tone clarity and long-term performance.
Popular types include:
-
Audio-Taper Pots (logarithmic) – Ideal for smooth volume control
-
Linear-Taper Pots – Provide consistent tone adjustment across the sweep
-
No-Load Pots – Remove themselves from the circuit at maximum setting, ideal for tone bypass
-
High-Torque Pots – Engineered for tighter control, especially under live stage conditions
Various shaft types (knurled or smooth) and thread lengths ensure compatibility with a wide range of guitar body styles and control knob formats.
Push-Pull and Push-Push Pots – Expand Your Tone Options
Push-Pull pots combine standard control with a built-in switch, allowing you to activate additional wiring options without adding extra hardware. They're a clean and efficient way to add flexibility to your guitar's tone palette.
-
CTS Push-Pull Pots – Robust, reliable and available in 250K or 500K versions
-
TAD Push-Push Pots – Offer quick switching with a press-down mechanism instead of pulling
