B50K mini pots with a centre detent


Recommended Posts

Hi all
Can anyone recommend the best place to obtain some B50K minipots with a centre detent to replace the non-detent type minipots in my Peavey Fury V? Are these likely to have a linear or audio taper? I also need a new blend control pot. This is a dual pot marked B500K
Here is the wiring diagram below. Thanks

A is log, B is linear.

Therefore, a B50k is linear.

I can remember reading somewhere that pots manufactured in other markets can often be marked the other way round, A=linear & B=log

There were some issues around standardisation of codes some years ago, but that doesn't apply here because 'B' wasn't used back then.
My example is the general accepted standard now.

The 'old standard' used A for linear and C for log.

If you'd specified 'A50k' then things could have got confusing. :)

They'll be linear as it's a symmetrical configuration - linear is symmetrical about the centre detente, log isn't. And I suspect that centre-detented log pots would be rather rare birds too.

I have 5 x 50K & 1 x 500K Dual; https://www.dropbox.com/s/fwfe6nd0zgyfnu1/2015-05-04%2009.40.38.jpg?dl=0

Are they the sort you're after?
