Sasha Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Anybody ever used Panasonic EVU-F2LFL3B14 pots?How are they build quality and turning feeling... how smooth they are? Would you recommend it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebula Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 They are a little wobbly. They are similar to the pots in a Novation Nova/Supernova (I used one as a replacement with a little coaxing), and they are also similar to the pots in a Korg MS2000.I would use them in a box that I make fine adjustments to, but not in something I perform with. They are very inexpensive and readily available.I have a couple EVU pots sitting in my desk drawer. I'll send one to you with the displays I'm shipping to you today. This one is a little different though becase it has no bushing, but the mechanism is the same, with a similar footprint.

Sasha Posted November 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 Thank you nebula for your detailed answer and for sending me sample. ;) I appreciate it!Inexpensiveness and small footprint is what cough my eye, and wobbling it what I afraid of. These type of pots is originally used on x0xb0x and maybe is a good idea to change them with Alps. I think they make very similar pot.

nebula Posted November 4, 2007 Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Well it's very similar to the ALPS. Unfortunately the only ones I have left have no bushing, so they are a bit more wobbly than the one you're looking at. I believe the Nova I replaced the cutoff freq pot on used ALPS pots, and I replaced it with the closest EVU pot I could find. I then had to cut and file the shaft. Honestly the ALPS didn't feel any better to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasha Posted November 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2007 Thank you. I`m looking for compatible Albs pot right now in mouser. I feel it better to find one with shorter shaft so no cutting needed to have same length. I am talking about trimming shaft for x0x project. http://www.ladyada.net/make/x0xb0x/fab/prep/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
