Electronic Components at NAMM
Aside from getting to see a bunch of cool instruments and musicians at the NAMM trade show, I also got to geek out at the electronic components booths!
My buddy was laughing at me while I grilled the CTS guys for details on their pot manufacturing, some of their new guitar pots (the 450G series, and the new enclosed precision pots), why they don’t make standard DPDT push/pull pots, and why all the different CTS distributers put their own part numbers on the components (no good answer – it’s like buying mattresses!)
Fun times visiting CTS, Bourns, AllParts , Gotoh, Alpha, and Electroswitch:

Hi Jon, what did they say about “why they don’t make standard DPDT push/pull pots”? Very interested to know. Thanks.

Honestly, it’s been a year and a half, and I don’t totally recall. I should’ve kept better notes. I’m sorry about that!
