Looking for a 25k stacked pot for Treble and Bass

[Ruck]

Ive searched the forum, and googled around with no luck. Only sites are american and EMG of course. Was hoping to find someone closer to home. Found a european site but they only do 25k volume/volume pots. I asked if they would work with 2 band EQ and havent had a reply after a week. Hoping someone here can enlighten me. Cheers

Check out Thomann, it's where I got mine from. I might still have it knocking around somewhere, though soldered onto my old EMG preamp board.

or give Dr Tweek a bell - he's uncannily good at finding NOS components etc...

is this it? [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/emg_a25kx2_tandem_poti.htm"]http://www.thomann.d...tandem_poti.htm[/url]

This is the pot I emailed them about. Says its a Dual Volume pot. Will it do the job for the Bass/Treble?

I thought that volume pots are usually log, and that treble/bass controls were linear, like this one:

But please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong as I'm no expert!

Out of interest, what are you fitting it to?

I think "tandem" means that it only has one knob, and when you turn it, it affects both bass and treble. So I really don't think that's what you want. The closest I can find is a stacked 50k Lin/Lin pot, designed precisely to be a dual bass/treble control. only problem is its 40 euros + postage: http://shop.warwick.de/?&c=35352310036&lang=en&smk=1&modul=shop&site=article_details&article_id=D0406994001322750270A3637&article_category=D0120522001321517425A44028&nm=D0405358001321517424A43801|MEC|D0407846001321517424A43802|D0120522001321517425A44028

Doh - just looked at the one in garythebass's post, and it's exactly what you want for a fraction of the cost. But the MEC one will have a centre click, which you may prefer.

[garythebass]

Just to confirm, the one I posted does indeed have centre detent.

Hope that helps

Many thanks for all the help so far! so, ok i need one for an Aguilar OBP-1, should of made that clear in the OP.

[url="http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HIGH-QUALITY-ALPHA-STACKED-DUAL-CONCENTRIC-POTENTIOMETER-B25K-LINEAR-POT-DCP2-/190665834354?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item2c6491bf72"]http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HIGH-QUALITY-ALPHA-STACKED-DUAL-CONCENTRIC-POTENTIOMETER-B25K-LINEAR-POT-DCP2-/190665834354?pt=UK_Guitar_Accessories&hash=item2c6491bf72[/url]

so this one, having a centre dent, would it matter for the OBP-1?

[garythebass]

Thought it might be - its a bit of a rare pot to need!

Seems odd to me that Aguilar don't offer a stacked pot option like they do on the OBP2.

I got one to fit an OBP1 to my Status Energy.

Not completed it yet, though, as I had a problem with the volume pot.

I doubt the centre-detent will bother you much as the boost on the OBP1 goes so high you probably won't get to half way!

I've bought from this seller before, no problems.

[Ruck]

I got the OBP-1 because I love how it lifts the the high mids when raising the treble - so I believe from watching the online videos - I assume it has quite a lenient "Q" whatever they call it.

Awesome, thanks everyone for your suggestions and especially Gary for the eBay link! Got everything I need now.
