Guys,
I need a new pot for an old Goodrich VP quickly because I have some shows coming up and can't wait for online stores. I will Paypal the money immediately.
Whatever pot is normally in these pedals or better. If it matters I play a Mullen RP thru a Nashville 400.
Thanks,
John

For a short-term fix available immediately, go to Radio Shack and spend the $3.99 for their 500K audio taper pot.
It won't last more than a few months, so order a Bradshaw pot to have on hand. That's what I'd do

If your problem is a scratchy sounding pot, you might try carefully drilling a small hole in the pot casing and spraying some contact cleaner inside(Deoxit with lube added recommended, green can). This may get you through until your new pot arrives.

Google "Columbus Ohio electronics supply". Looks like there's a Micro Center and an ESCO that might have that pot. Call them and ask for the part Lane suggested.

edit: You might also contact a music store that has a good reputation for amp repair. They'll most likely have that pot and can possibly do the repair for you.
