Among my Fender stuff, I have an Ultimate Chorus stereo 212 amp (analog chorus, not DSP). It is in serious need of POTENTIOMETORS. Almost every one is scratchy & unpredictable. I can do the work myself, but I do not recognize the the manufacturer's logo: T & an encircled S. I would like to use direct replacements. They are mounted on metal brackets/stand-offs and soldered directly to the board. I have tried to google the part #s with no luck. I realize I can get a similar pot of same value but, since I am replacing them all it would be much easier to get the original parts. I really appreciate any help you can give. Rock On!

Hi cdawg22,

You might want to try cleaning your pots first with an electrical spray cleaner/degreaser, this will typically get rid of the scratchiness. It is preferable to use a "cleaner/degreaser" that leaves no residue, and NOT a "contact cleaner". Check the pot for an access hole to spray in the cleaner while rotating the pot, only use short bursts, you won't need much.

Something like this would be excellent, although there are many brands. Blue Shower has always been my favorite, it used to be straight trichlorethane 1,1,1 years ago.

But if you want to replace the pots, contact Fender for info on replacements. :idea:
