I’m just beginning to look into these things and I agree. Thank you John Cooper and thank you chuck for saying the same thing that I was going to say. This video is extremely helpful.

Been working with pots for a while now and this was still VERY informative and easy to watch. Thanks!

FINALLY, someone who explains how these things work and how to tell the difference!!! Liked.

So beautifully explained and so easy to grasp. Thank you for this elegant presentation!

Thanks for the accurate, and well presented video on potentiometers. This video is SO MUCH BETTER than most of the others! The great thing about CTS pots is that they can dissipate more power than most of the other audio pots (except PEC) and they can be disassembled, and reassembled to to change shaft length or style and also change resistance elements of double ganged pots.

I've been reading about Pots, but only after watching your video do I see and understand how they work. Thank you!!!

this is the best and simplest video on potentiometer....... thank u sir ........

Your videos have been SO helpful. I've learned a lot about the technical and physical stuff that I thought I'd never learn. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom! I've been enjoying geeking out on these videos!

Natural teacher at work here. I came here knowing what a potentiometer does ....always wondered the what & how? In ten minutes I learned so much targeted information! Wow, thank you, johnplanetz

Very well explained in layman's terms. Greetings from Kolkata, India.

dude...you are really good at explaining things...normally, I'll watch a video like this and the person doing it is so steeped in the subject that they just cant or don't bother to explain it in a way that's easily digestible...awesome video

Thanks for the video. I had problems with my cts pot but your video gave me confidence to open it up and fix it. Many thanks. I was nearly ordering new.

Thanks for taking the time to do this for others. It was very informative and well done.

excellent explanations and demonstration on how the variety of pots work and how they're manufactured.

your vid posts are like a breath of fresh air for novices like me. Thanks for posting

Thanks for your thorough explanation on those potentiometers! I need them to build my own home-made racing wheel, hadn't a clue what they were. Now this solves half of the problem already!

Nice video - something I've often wondered about but had no idea how they worked. You explained it very well!!

hello, i want to say that i really appreciate your effort you put into these videos, these are really helpful!

good stuff, man, artfully presented, professionally researched. Loves

My physics teacher threw a potentiometer on the speakers for the announcements. Turns the volume down to minimum and continues lessons... best hack ever.

Thanks John. I went for a new push/push pot (might as well do a Gilmour mod if I've got to change the pot). Not put it on yet but the flow tests are completely different to my old pot, ie they're correct! What a relief, but interesting to know that a pot can die just like that. Love the idea of a troubleshooter vid if you're up for it. It'll save the world from restless nights and brain ache.

No BS, pure gold! Thank you! Keep doing this! Rock ON!

Great job, crystal clear explanation, thanks.

Thank you I really had hard time understanding how pots work but now its piece of cake thanks to you :-)

Thx after your vid here i did managed to "repair" him. Thx. Works again flawless

Very, very helpful John. I learned a lot. Best wishes and thank you.

Thanks, Ive know how they work but your video and explanations really make it clearer in my head on how to wire pots to do different thing

it is so nice to see you are informing us on these simple things

Thanks for this excellent tutorial! It is a great help in diagnosing a volume control problem for a virtual organ!

Excellent tutorial. Thanks for taking the time to help educate us all.

Hi John, thanks for making this video, very well explained and helpful.

Excellent video, thanks.

cheers mate, this really helped with my coursework

Thank You Sir! Bass guitar stopped working, checked everything with multimeter couldn't figure it out. Watched your vid, took mine apart and back together, tighter with the clips. I assume it just was a bad connection inside, works now and I understand pots!

Clean explanation. Makes sense to lay-folk like me. Nice work!

Yes! Now I know why the volume on my Quasar black and white tv ain't working. Thanks, JC.

Very nice tutorial. Thanks.

Great video, thanks for educating me

Very informative! Thanks for taking the time to produce the vid.

Love your videos. Thank you for your time and the shared knowledge.

Perfect explanation, I'm sharing it on my facebook and twitter for my students. Thanks!

Thank you!

This is a really well made video. Thanks John!

Phenomenal, thanks for the video!

Thanks for the video, pots make a lot more sense now.

Really cool video man. Thorough and simple.

Thank you Mr. Cooper.

Thanks very much. You explained it very well :)

well explained john

Thanks for putting the time in this very well done video : )

Very pleasant voice - can very well listened (is important in tutorials:-) )

Excellent Video, very complete!

Thank you so much for taking the time to rite me back and i find your reply rely helpful, thanks.

Thank you! You are an awesome teacher

Thank you very much John Cooper.👍🏻🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Thanks for sharing your gift for teaching!

Fantastic videos mate.

Great video, thanks!

Well explained my friend. Thank you

Very precise and awesome presentation

Ahhh very cool man!! TY for that video. I have a 16 watt tube amp I bought from Tube Depot and I'm on my 3rd Potentiometer. I keep getting the ones from Parts Express and they are total crap!! After watching your video now I have a better idea of where to look for a better POT . Thanks again!! Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Take care

Thanks, I learnt a lot from this.

Awesome vid,I had a super smooth 250k Volume pot in a Left Handed Ibanez RS135 that guitar did[very soon after buying] became sort of strat-like in looks,but not-before I stripped the 2mm resin[joking] and reshaped the body.I re-used the stock 250K volume pot.even after hacking a Seymour Duncan JB Humbucker-tilted,sounded superb,but that wonderful Vol. Pot. Wore Out 24 years later [great run!]In 2009 I eventually got from the US some 500k CTS Left Handed potentiometers-anyway man they're all irritatingly STIFF[no more"Cathedral"attempts since!],so Thank You for confirming why they is so!

Is for this I prefer linear for volumes and audio for tones, imo and taste this way you can get a better control over each one. Nice video!

Great video, thanks for sharing!

Great video. Thank you for making this.

Nice explanation!

An interesting video, thank you

I enjoyed your video. It was very helpful. Thank you!

Very informative! Thank you!

Great information John : )

great explanation of pots....nice one man...

Great job. Sorry I'm late to join you. You're an excellent teacher. I hope you're doing it at a college somewhere.

NICE GUITAR! and great tutorial xD thanks!

Thanks for sharing that!

other than the conceptual mistake pointed out in the video & by other commenters, this was very helpful in understanding how to properly use pots. If this had been explained before, my EE labs may have gone a little quicker!

Cool, love learning about this stuff

You are awesome. Thorough. At 6:07, when introducing the audio/log taper, I found my mind starting to ask questions that this video wasn't necessarily covering...(jsut imagine showing a class this and imagining wehre some of the minds are going at this point. You might want to experiment with the video by having a complete novice sitting there while you rehearse the video, and getting their feedback. I realize that feedback comes here...of course.

I learned stuff! Thanks!

Great job I understood everything!

Thanks you for amazing video👍

thank mate you are spot on i had some cts pot 500k where well under not now i did what you said now they are over 500k now thanks

Very well explained. Very useful video!

awesome explanation! :D Thanks!

Thank you for the great info..Be well always..

Bass broke so I figured I'd learn all about the parts, thanks for the details, I've been playing with the pots for days XD

I am enjoy this video on how to differentiate types potentiometer and how they work. thanks! @Levis paul

This helped answer many questions I had..

I agree with the nice things already said about this video but I sincerly hoped for some advise on really disassembling different pots completely and even harder things like putting them back together without killing them. I have a few different methods and they work well enough to be 80% certain not to totally destroy it but I didnt come up with something that makes it easier and less of a pain in the a.. so far... any ideas? What I do is either drilling a tiny hole in the shaft and put a screw and a washer instead of the flanged end of the shaft or I re - flange the end while pressing down the pot, the ring with the wiper and sometimes also the disc that makes the whole thing somewhat stepped (dont know the exact expression for that, sorry)...I'd love to make a tool for fixing the pot etc in place before hitting the end to flange it, but I have no idea how...or what...I only know two hand are not enough to make it an easy operation and I hate assembling pots very very much...not as much as a dirty pot but still...a lot!!

great vid!! so that's what A and B stands for!

Yep. If my pot is not what I expected then I go try some different pot. Lmao my stupid humor. 🤣 Thanks for sharing 👍

I appreciate this video. Fantastic, thank you.

What an excellent video. Yeah, I caught the 2 mistakes, but so did you. I've never had a clearer explanation of potentiometers. The video is high quality, too. Do you have a Udemy course? If not, you should. Thanks. -Rodi

great explanation simple and easy to understand...love electronics

very clear Yoda. thankyou

Good vid thanks for the info!

Awesome video man!

Thank you very Much Bro that was Easy to understand. Appreciate it.

Super Clear! Thanks---- Very well explained. Thanks
