Replacing Potentiometer

[Mr Antt]

Hi there, having accepted defeat I've decided it's time to just replace the potentiometer switch on my amp. It's irritating that it broke, but I don't even know how old it was to begin with.

I've worked with potentiometers before, but the one thing I can never work out is which one to use. The amp itself is 50watts, so can anyone help me choose the right one?

Any help at all would be great.
Thanks, Anthony.

you'd need the schematics for the amp, and barring that, only an amp tech can put it on the bench and determine what value is needed.

If the value isn't written on the back, measure it with a DMM. You don't need a schematic.

Lovely, thanks a lot guys. I'll take a look inside and order a replacement.
