Gallien Krueger 1001rb 2 pot replacement

[Thumper19605]

Then I have been fixing your bad work for years. That's what real engineers do.

To others here, don't do it. It's a sure way to ruin your pots. Pretty much guaranteed.[/QUOTE

Feel better? Good!

I had the same problem with you, I had 3 of my 700rb pots replaced, but now another pots get the same problem and it need to be replaced as well, I think cleaning is unnecessary, you need to replace them with new one.

Hi guys, just have a question on replacing 2 pots on my gk amp. The volume trim pot and woofer trim pot need to be replaced because they are making a bunch of crunchy noises when turned. So i have been looking all around and can't find to see some potentiometers for sale that work for this amp. Can someone please guide me in the correct direction.

Thanks in advance

I have a G-K 1001RBII in my shop with snapped off pots. Looking through this topic, none of the suggested sources or part numbers seem to be available at this time. Mouser doesn't carry them as the issue is the mount bracket.

Am I stuck with attaching pots to the front panel and running wires?

Why don’t you contact GK and order the correct factory parts?

I left a message with them Saturday, hope they have them available.
Otherwise, they seem to be made from Unobtainium.

Can you post a picture, I don’t recall the specific style?

I believe this is a mkII preamp card.

If that's what you have, that's the easiest one to match up because you can just eliminate the bracket and use the standard 16mm horizontal part. When you remove the pots, you can cut the bracket away with thin nose aviation or tin snips. Don't try to remove it all in one piece because that can damage the PCB.
