Allparts reliability...
Edgar Blackdagger 07.08.2022
What I found with any Allparts pots I've bought is that they go wrong like no others.
Within the first 6 months, if the knob is at 10 and you accidentally turn it slightly more, it momentarily kills the sound, so if you're playing with the volume at 6 and you want to to to 10 for a solo, you first get muted for 1/4 of a second, which is something that of course gets worse during the first year and you have to be unreasonably careful.
During the second year, there come the crackles from dust, no matter the guitar or application you're using it, which is something that happens too soon compared with other pot brands.
These may say CTS but the quality control is AllParts...
I prefer Japanese Goldos, they are practically immortal.

DO NOT BUY THIS POT
Deadhead0987 28.03.2022
I am URGING you not to buy this pot. After soldering together, Lug 1 snapped clean off after minimal soldering time on the lug. This has NEVER happened to me before. Truly unacceptable, I am NEVER buying from these guys again.

fine quality-good value
Anonymous 08.12.2016
Works as it should be. I use it as tone pot. It seems to be more like a modern log taper (10% log), so it has a bit steep change of resistance. Total resistance value is close enough to stated value (about 1019 ohms). I would prefer it to have lower friction in order to turn easier. I play strats so i want pots to be loose enough so i can change value with my pinky. This pot is in the middle ground.
A fine product.

They say you can influence the brightness of the sound by changing the potentiometer value.

That's true... But 250kOhm, along with the highs, can eat up the gain and even the low frequencies of a humbucker.

So I decided to try 1000kOhm.

I have three popular values.
The Gotoh VK1-19 knob sits a little deeper on this potentiometer than the 250kOhm and 500kOhm ones from the same company.

Good quality!
