• Audio Taper - Mimics how humans perceive sound for a smooth transition throughout the entire range of motion.

• Low friction rotation - Perfect for swells and quick adjustments.

• Crystal Clear Stamping - Know exactly what your pot is at a glance! No need to meter or decipher complicated part numbers to know what you’re working with.

• Split, 24-tooth, Fine knurled, .235" (~5.95mm) diameter shaft - Standard fit for US knobs. Import knobs will not fit!

• Solid brass 1/4" high (short shaft) bushing - Will fit most control plate setups (Teles, Jazz Bass, P-Bass, etc.).

Capacitor:

• .022 microfarad capacitance - A mild capacitance value to help chill only the harshest highs without modifying your guitar’s melodious mids.

• 200V voltage rating - Overkill for guitar circuits, but provides peace of mind for long-lasting performance.

• ±5% Tolerance - Ensures you get the intended tone you’re expecting from your cap.

• Compact cylindrical design - Allows the cap to fit into nearly all control cavities or configurations.

• Tinned copper-clad steel leads - Extremely durable and flexible to adjust to any setup.

Gavitt Cloth Wire:

• Push-back cloth insulation - The two cloth insulators - an inner Celanese layer and lightly waxed outer cotton layer - can be pushed back with your fingers alone. No stripping or special tools needed!

• Completely pre-tinned length - The entire length of the conductor is pre-tinned. No special preparation needed; anywhere you cut is ready to solder!

• Stranded conductive wire - The stranded build of the copper wire makes it extremely easy to bend and manipulate. You’ll never have to fight stiff wire!
