Question CTS vs Alpha?

AgustinJP50 · Aug 13, 2014

Hi guys. I want to know about your experience with both of these brands of pots. Which one is better? Which one would you use?
Thanks a lot!

I have an alpha in my homemade superstrat, and its good! I dont know where they are made but it works fine and smooth.

I put a Seymour Duncan Yngwie Malmsteen hi-speed volume pot in my Albert Lee. It is very smooth and it seems to be high quality.

Thanks for your responses guys, keep 'em coming!

They are probably made in exactly the same factory! I have guitars with both and can't really tell the difference.

That's nice to hear... Do you notice any difference in the strength you have to use to turn the pot?

Is alpha made in USA? Cause there only like $2.95, but theyre good!

Not a great deal. Some say the Alpha ones are a little easier, but I am sure once you have used them a bit there is no noticeable difference!
