RE: [motm] Pots (was New MOTM-310 pages at wise guy synth)

2002-02-10 by Alan Wagner

Pot education!

What’s the difference between the 148 and 149 other then one is cermet? Why choose one over the other, if they are the same value wouldn’t they operate the same?

Looking at Dave’s Hot Rod parts list Dave chooses Bourns over Spectrol for plastic and then Spectrol over Bourns for Cermet? Paul tends to use Spectrol when mounting to the PC and then tends to use the Bourns for non-mounted, coincidence or is there a science to selecting pots?

For my MiniWave I used Spectrol 149’s and they work just fine. I’m about to order 149’s for my Dark Star, should I maybe put more thought into this or go with Dave’ recommended Bourns? Or does it boil down to cost since the Spectrol’s cost a little more?

Just Curious

Al

Thanks Paul. Crap. That's what happens when you try to spend too much time
worry about the photos and stuff.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news....errr...but Stooge Larry swapped VR1
and VR4. VR4 is the
148 pot!

Other than THAT, nice shots.
