Hi:
I'm trying to find out if anyone has used the conductive plastic potentiometers for guitars and/or for volume pedals for pedal steels and had positive results with them. Living on the coast with excessive salt air and sand is not exactly the ideal environment for carbon pots in terms of getting much useful life out of them.
I got some info of Honeywell's website and they claim a 1 million cycle life (rotational) for the 485 series and 100,000 cycle life for the 380 series with both having 1% dynamic noise and conform to MIL- R-94 specifications. Although they are a bit pricey--especially the
485 series, however, if they work as well as Honeywell's propaganda claims, they may well be worth the investment.Any insights or thoughts would be sincerely appreciated.
