Hi
For a friend I have to repair a Squier SQ15 guitar amp. Three of the pots are broken. One is linear, one is logarithmic and the third is anti-log. I would like to see the schematic to see how I can repair it if I can't get hold of the original parts, (especially the anti-log pot). I even considered to repair the pots to keep it as original as possible.

Well I did repair the pots. :tu: They were broken due to stupid :duh manufacturing. Plastic parts inside broke. I glued them together with rapid glue <3). It works excellent again.

Congratulations BassBuddy.
Those pesky pots are difficult to find, besides they use some kind of "frame" which is good for a firmer hold, but's not not normalised. And the anti-logs ("C" curve) are almost impossible. Well, in the worst case you can use linears everywhere and explain it to the customer, usually he wants his stuff back ASAP.

Try www.guitarelectronics.com if you need replacements. They carry most of the CTS brand linear, audio, reverse, etc. Fun site just to browse.
