I have to agree with Jay here. I know the benefits of Spectrol vs. Alpha but quite frankly I cant stand the feel of a Spectrol pot. They\u2019re expensive but they FEEL cheap. Many a time I\u2019ve brazed the knob and the Spectrol goes flying out of place. At least Alphas hold their position. Just my .02

John

I'm sure that would have added another $200 to the module. She used a
multi turn sealed pot in the one place where it should be, and that's
the tune pot. At over $9 each now, the MOTM sealed pots are just
overkill when everyone else is using 50 cent Alphas that seem to work
just fine. Not to mention they feel better too. Is nobody buying Modcan
B series modules because they use 24mm Alphas? Even Paul is using carbon
pots the Frac Rac modules. I've already had a bad Spectrol pot, never an
Alpha.
