Guitar Potentiometers part 5, Comparing Tone Pot Tapers

www.planetz.com . In this quick video, I compare linear taper 500k and log/audio 500k taper pots for use as a tone control. The pickup is wired to the jack, with the pot/cap in parallel, just like a normal guitar circuit (but without the volume pots). I'm using an Orange Drop .022uF, and the two pots are Bourns A500K and Philmore B500k. Audio examples recorded through my Vox VT30 amp and a high quality Rode NT1 mic. Please see my other potentiometer videos for more detailed background info on potentiometer construction, operation and tapers.
