Alpha C5K mini pots (vertical)

Yorkie · October 2022

I wanted to give the case of my Rock Box pedal (fuzzdog clone of a Box of Rock) a good polish (previous owner gave it a very rough paintjob), so unscrewed everything but found that the knobs were extremely tight on the pots – indeed, they were ~6mm knobs shoehorned into 6.35mm pots

Pulled three of them out, but the fourth knob came off with the pot's stem inside. Fucking hell...

I would like to replace it, but it doesn't look very standard. It says C5K on the side, and I've read somewhere that these are special reverse pots for this kind of pedal. Any idea where to find a 1:1 replacement or closest equivalent?

Cheers,
Jon

Cheers, Chris. Out of curiosity, any idea if the stem can be refitted? Doesn’t look broken, there’s an obvious slot at the bottom, but I haven’t been able to push it down no matter how.

In the end I have had to ask FuzzDog for a 1:1 replacement (which they can provide, fortunately) as a bigger pot would not fit my build.

Thanks to this incident, I have learned a shitload about pots. I wish I could motivate myself to learn without breaking things first

So, the dog delivered once again. FuzzDog sent me a 1:1 replacement, which I have fitted. Pedal sorted, everyone happy

Howdy, Stranger!
