Basscube Pot?

mfenske · Post by **mfenske** » Tue Oct 23, 2007 4:55 am

Can anyone tell me the part number/value for the main potentiometer/switch on my Tantrum Basscube? Apparently the old adage should go "Measure THREE times, drill once". Thanks.

10 Kohm with a SPST switch, the other pot is just a plain 10 Kohm trim pot PC board mount.
I have no source for the switched pot but you should be able to find if at some of the larger supplier like Digi-key, Mouser..etc...

I found a few online but I'm weirded out by the fact that the pot actually seems to have nine terminals. I'm wondering if it's a dual gang pot or are the two sets of three are for when the switch is in the on and off position?

No kidding, If I could fix electronic stuff like he can, I'd be telling everyone I meet what a genius I was.

Okay so I replaced the potentiometer with this http://www.radioshack.com/product/index ... age=search and I am able to turn the Cube on but essentially when I do so it actually lowers the output. I tried reversing the two outer most terminals on the pot and it still does it. I am wondering if this is because the potentiometer I am using only has six terminals as opposed to the Cube's original nine.

Called PG today they said it's a 10 K DPDT Ordered it from mouser.

I'm happy to report that the Bass Cube is now up and running again. Thanks to everyone for their help. On a related note the OZ ME15.2 really wangs.

wangs means good right?
