An easy way to clean hard-to-reach control pots

Pot Cleaning Cap


Read 3 Reviews   |   Write a Review

Here's a quick solution for cleaning noisy hard-to-reach control pots (CTS brand), without extracting them from a guitar or amp. It's a real labor-saver for archtop guitars, and it even works for Gibson Varitone switches, too. Simply remove the control knob and screw on the Pot Cleaning Cap. An access hole guides your spray cleaner extension tube directly to the pot shaft. The cleaner flows down the shaft to where it's needed at the contacts. A hole in the top of the cap lets you turn a split pot shaft with a screwdriver for thorough coverage as you spray.

We recommend DeoxIT Pot & Switch Cleaner.

Pot Cleaning Cap is made from stainless steel.

NOTE: The Pot Cleaning Cap is designed to work with 3/8 x 32-thread CTS brand control pots. It will not work with our Alpha brand control pots.

TIP: Aerosol contact cleaners can spray cold, and can potentially crack a guitar's finish. Always protect the finish with a cloth when cleaning pots and switches.

Works extremely well

I used this "Pot Cleaning Cap" on a Mesa Boogie V-twin pedal that had a stubbornly scratchy "Volume" pot. I removed all of the knobs, grabbed a can of DeOxit (highly recommended) and went to work. Long story short, all of the pot are now as quiet as new and turn a bit more smoothly now. When you spray the DeOxit, and plug the top hole of the cap, you can feel the pressure build inside the cap as it tries to lift your finger off of it. Just five or six "pulses" and you're good. Thanks Stew-Mac!
