I was wondering what kind of potis are in Evo?? Can anyone name the brand and the resistance? Also the toggle switch, if it´s any specific. Would be nice
.JEM volume/tone potis?
hmm, DiMarzio doesn´t seem to sell 1000k pots. Also, I found this here, it says they are 500k pots, so which one is right?

what effect on the sound does the 1 meg pot have?
well....
its pretty standard 500 for humbuckers and 250 for strats....
i'm CERTAIN the JEMs that are made have 500k pots....
I'm 99% sure Vai has 1meg in his guitars... i read it a few places here (not sure where) and i think another place or two
I think i also confirmed the 1 meg pot thing with DiMarzio when i was speaking to Jeremy at NAMM... i dont recall exactly but i know for sure we were talking about pots because i didn't know til recently they made them.
I have N-Tune tuners installed in all my guitars and they make it in two versions 500 for LP's/Humbuckers and 250 for singlecoil/strats
I do want to replace all my pots with new good dimarzios... however... i dont know or think i'll do a 1meg... i dont think it makes a difference to me-
also the capacitor i bet would make a bigger difference... however i'd be suprised if Steve even knows what type of capacitor it is... or how to find another one....

i agree with you ,it is the reason i told you the way you did discover it,'cause it is my idea too.
The reason i asked it to you is i did read it too and i m pretty sure he uses 1meg dimarzio with 560pf cap.
Maybe he use the treble bleed circuit (cap+resistor)'cause 1 meg pot haven't got a natural gradual range when you turn off the volume in distortion mode,10 distortion 8/9 already clean.
Also there is more gain in 1 meg pots.

yes sir,dimarzio 's got them.
give a try to 1meg dimarzio also the switch is great.Really trasparent tone.
