Allparts EP-4186-000 CTS 500K No-Load Potentiometer

No Load Potentiometers are a small but easy upgrade to just about any guitar circuit. To some ears, any kind of tone pot in a guitar circuit can color the signal.

Enter the no-load potentiometer. Replace your standard Potentiometer with one of these and when the potentiometer is all the way up, it is effectively bypassed directly. Think of it like a true bypass switch on your pedals (and remember in both cases, a true direct bypass may not be the best for what you're going for). 

Please note that this is a 500k potentiometer. We have 250k no-load potentiometers as well, and you'll want to make sure the shaft is the correct length for your needs.
