    Description

    note: same as our hotpotz2 smooth kit, EXCEPT with the warmer sounding  hotpotz1 clarostat NOS 100k wah pot
    A great DEVELOPMENT in WAH pot replacement technology.
    a L
    ARGER GEAR for better, smoother response. new low price.
    Recent purchasers have been writing to tell us how much they like the improved sweep and feel of this new pot!
    We've been studying wah tapers for years, & have come up with a hybrid solution.
    Like a transmission in a car, We have sourced a
    larger gear
    to give the crybaby taper a slower, more expressive feel while still giving the full frequency range.
    This is the PERFECT BLEND of the two types of wah taper;  vintage ICAR ( gradual) & faster hotpotz.
    ( more taper info below if you like )
    featuring the warm vintage wah tone of the hotpotz1 by dunlop, made by clarostat.
    INFO:
    the FAMOUS crybaby ( and many voxes after approx 1970 ) have a special taper. we all know it. it is a fast taper for that quick feel that so many people love. the full range of sweep occurs over a small range of the foot travel
    .
    The other major type of wah pot, the famous "ICAR" taper was used in early vox wahs and recent replicas. This smooth taper has a much slower spread, giving the player a more even, expressive feel to their frequency range. many boutique wahs and tone freaks use this taper.
    TWO problems with ICAR replicas in general:
    -our new pot solves both of these.
    1.durability ( many of the currently available brands go scratchy quickly due to their size and type of construction);
    2. Adjustablility. -- very often the installer must favor either a treble response or bassy response due to the spread out nature of the taper. the resistance range exceeds the travel of the gear. our hybrid solves that problem - no compromise, you get the WHOLE RANGE!
    Put our years of testing and innovation to work for you, try it! sounds and feels great.
    features:
    -we start with a
    brand new
    1996 NOS 100K hotpotz1. this keeps the original look & sound of pre-97 crybaby wah and many others.
    -original gear removed, replaced with our exclusive larger gear, solidly attached.
    -we include a specially prepped rack retainer along with new screw and lockwasher assortment to assure proper contact. NEW - we also send a longer than stock fine-thread screw for the chinese voxes.
    -easy install, friendly tech support available. see our 100% positive feedback, we are proud of our satisfaction record.
    will work wonderfully in almost any wah made between 1970 to 2015. feel free to contact us with any fitment questions you may have.
    see photos for newer chinese VOX wah, use the washers and install tensioner to the left as shown.
    no risk trial, simply pay shipping both ways if this wonderful kit does not meet your needs in any way. even if it has been installed ( just try to keep the nut and solder lugs nice, ok?) fast cheerful refund if not satisfied.
    thank you for checking out our auction.
    please note, we have a lot of different wah pots available, and new developments coming soon! feel free to contact us for our recommendations, always happy to talk tone with our friends.
