Are S-500 Pots Linear or Audio taper?

Post by FluffyDog6 »

The pots in my S-500 Tribute are scratchy, and De-Oxit hasn't helped.

I want to replace them all, and put a micro-switch insead of the push-pull.

Are the 250, 500 and 1 meg pots all audio taper?

Thanks.

Based on this https://g-l-online-store.myshopify.com/ ... ntiometers it looks like the answer is yes. You can also obviously buy pots directly from the store.

In a coupe recent threads it was pointed out the bass pot is actually 1 meg reverse audio taper, that's what's in the G&L store.
