250K mini pots for the rhythm circuit - where can I get these?

Post by RominRonin » Tue May 07, 2024 8:56 pm

I’m moving a custom jag Stang plate to take the rhythm circuit pots, but since I’m using them as normal pots, I want to find 250K (or possibly 500K) mini pots.

I tried 1K pots for both volume and tone, but found it too harsh and too hard to control.

Mini pots can be found in most guitar electrics shops, but i haven’t found pots with the smooth posts that fit the doughnut knob yet.

Any pointers? Thanks

Finding the right mini pots that actually fit the rhythm circuits bracket is pretty challenging. Years ago I bought a set of 500k mini pots from Rothstien guitars that were supposedly the only model that fits the brackets. Not sure if they sell them anymore, but could be worth a quick email.

I’m not sure about any 250k pots that fit.

Hoagland guitars
Toneshapers
920d guitars

All sell jaguar electronics kits but I bet they will sell you pots. I have the Hoagland kit and it is well-made with top shelf parts.

Amplifiedparts had (probably still does) 500k minis I’d check there, they probably have 250s also, great source for pots
