Tech Help with Mark IV (Volume Pot)

[Enc3f4L0]

Hi... I could use some assistance from any of you amp experts.

I need details on the R1 Master Pot.

Mine has a problem and needs to be replaced but I need the exact spec.

Thanks!

The only place you will find that pot is at Mesa. It is specially made for them by CTS.

Hmm... a bit of a setback since I'm in Brazil...

Thanks for the info Boogiebabies.

Not as bad as you think. Worst part will be the price of the international phone call to Boogie.

They are usually VERY helpful with problems like this. Call them and tell them your problem...I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

I called customer service and Michael helped me out...

He said it doesn't necessarily have to be from MESA... He gave me the value though... '100K Audio Taper'.

The pot itself costs 1.75Usd but shipping to Brazil would be too high for just a pot.

I called my local tech and he's gonna get one with that value to fix it for me.

Thanks for the help everyone.

It better be a small one. These pots are 1/2 the size of a normal one.
I would check to see if a normal one would fit, but I am too lazy to take my MK IV chassis out.
