note: same as our hotpotz2 smooth kit, EXCEPT with the warmer sounding  hotpotz1 clarostat NOS 100k wah pot

A great DEVELOPMENT in WAH pot replacement technology. 
a LARGER GEAR for better, smoother response. new low price.

Recent purchasers have been writing to tell us how much they like the improved sweep and feel of this new pot!

We've been studying wah tapers for years, & have come up with a hybrid solution.
Like a transmission in a car, We have sourced a larger gear to give the crybaby taper a slower, more expressive feel while still giving the full frequency range.

This is the PERFECT BLEND of the two types of wah taper;  vintage ICAR ( gradual) & faster hotpotz. ( more taper info below if you like )

featuring the warm vintage wah tone of the hotpotz1 by dunlop, made by clarostat.


INFO:
the FAMOUS crybaby ( and many voxes after approx 1970 ) have a special taper. we all know it. it is a fast taper for that quick feel that so many people love. the full range of sweep occurs over a small range of the foot travel.

The other major type of wah pot, the famous "ICAR" taper was used in early vox wahs and recent replicas. This smooth taper has a much slower spread, giving the player a more even, expressive feel to their frequency range. many boutique wahs and tone freaks use this taper.

TWO problems with ICAR replicas in general:-our new pot solves both of these.
1.durability ( many of the currently available brands go scratchy quickly due to their size and type of construction);

2. Adjustablility. -- very often the installer must favor either a treble response or bassy response due to the spread out nature of the taper. the resistance range exceeds the travel of the gear. our hybrid solves that problem - no compromise, you get the WHOLE RANGE!


Put our years of testing and innovation to work for you, try it! sounds and feels great.

features:
