I'm going to be doing some more work to my console, i was debating the rather simple task of sticking stepped 10k linear(conductive plastic) pots in the eq's for cut/boost, and 100k (conductive plastic) rev log pots for freq selection, the stepped cut/boost would serve nicely for recalling, but i'm not sure they make conductive plastic stepped? and if conductive plastic vs carbon makes a diff even at all? The recallability wouldn't be worth it if there's not an improvement in sound. jsteiger any input? any other experiences or opinions welcome please... and thanx! edit; if it's too costly? I may just fix up a couple channels with the best of the best that fits, for vox and middle featured elements, the super modded JW strip deserves everything "best" it can get, it sounds seriously unbelievably good to me, the pre is standing up to most of my other stuff, and the eq is just unreal!

'Stepped' in a traditional pot is nothing more than an external mechanical stepper with no guarantee that the same step will be the same resistance each time. You get neither continuous sweep not accurate recall. A center detent that is wired to represent ground is about the only thing that will be accurate.
Then there's 'good enough', and that's another question.
Outside of sound, I'd look at spec for mechanical life.
