What is a "potentiometer"?
A potentiometer, often referred to as a pot, is an adjustable component in electric musical instruments used to control various functions such as volume, tone, or balance. It consists of a rotating knob or slider that changes how much electrical signal flows through the instrument. For example, turning the volume knob adjusts the amount of signal sent to the amplifier, affecting the loudness of the sound. Potentiometers are commonly found in electric guitars, keyboards, and other electronic instruments and are essential for customizing and shaping the instrument's output.
