Hi everyone,

Broken Potentiometers seems to be an occurring problem with this amp. I also need to replace my pots.

Since they no longer manufacture these pots does anyone know of substitute replacement pots I can purchase?

Below are the original parts.

0069529000. 100K 30C drive, drive treble
0069530000. 100K B. Drive volume
0069531000. 250K 30C. Drive bass
0069532000. 50K 15A. Normal bass
0069533000. 50K B, normal treble, normal volume, drive mid, vibrato
0994062000. 5K 15A, normal mid control

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark

I never see a amp need to replace so many pots. What's happened ?

Pots are available (or substitute by another pot) and can be found by any good amp tech . Not easy job for a beginner.

Stratele,

No idea what happened to the one that broke. Just found it on the floor one day. After reading many forums I have found this is a common problem on that amp. So I fugured while I am at it, just replace them all.

Parts for Parts and Fender no longer carry those pots.
