Replacement Potentiometer with Gear for Wah Pedals, 125K Linear

My original Wah pot got scratching sounding so I ordered this one to save some bucks. Should have sprung for the real deal as this pot is kind of noisy. In other words, the pot passes a Sssssssssssssss sound as well as the guitar. The original pot didn’t have that Sssssssssssssss sound, if you can follow my meaning. In other words, just bite the bullet and buy a genuine Dunlap pot. This one didn’t satisfy.Hey, it works! Just doesn’t sound nearly as good as the Wah used to.
