Product Reviews
Ordered this dual-ganged pot to modify a 2015 Marshall JVM 205C amplifier, adding a variable Negative Feedback control to effectively alter it's sound to allow the amp to be more flexible in it's use. After design, I soldered some other choice components on it and it worked as described the first time in the circuit. The pot is a tad scratchy, but works well enough to be a keeper.
