Found another nice alternative to Alpha pots without locking tab: https://lovemyswitches.com/potentiometers/

BTW, I had a conversation with StompBoxParts and they also have Cusack potentiometers (not all the values for now unfortunately). Looks like Cusack is another alternative to Alpha similar to Vimex. If the value available is a Cusack pot, the image on the website will change to a Cusack pot...

I'm also wondering why Alpha datasheet doesn't describe such a usecase.

Not at all. I just don't understand why Alpha does not manufacture 16mm potentiometers without this tab.

That's a common practice which I don't like, because the tab is not supposed to be cut.

Actually found solder lugs pots here: https://www.kinnatone.com/search-results-page/vimex But they don't have PCB mounted ones.

Yep, contacted them and they said that the MOQ would be 128 for a pot. And I'm not sure they have a US based distributor.

Found the following interesting article: https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/CesarSound/echotrek-digital-delay-echo-audio-effects-with-arduino-b017a2

Asked StompBoxParts if they have Vimex pots and the answer is no. Probably someone knows where to get them in little quantities.

What I like about Vimex pots is that they don't require drilling extra small hole. I'm wondering if there are other distributors apart from Pedal Parts Australia who store them?

Also interested in that

BTW, I noticed there's a drilling service in Tayda which appeared recently

Just curious, have you tried this one? https://diy.thcustom.com/shop/nope-relay-true-bypass-kit/

What about this one? https://diy.thcustom.com/shop/nope-relay-true-bypass-kit/

You know, that's just one particular store. That's true and this is great exception. I was mainly referring some ebay listings where an item costs around $5 and shipping is 5 times more.

Sorry, but shipping from the US to Europe is far more expensive, $20 minimum for anything is just overkill.

Looks pretty interesting.

That's true. And we're in DIY world, aren't we? So, it'd better to have the ability to connect an expression pedal to this or that pot (if it makes sense from the controlling perspective). If someone is having an appropriate expression pedal, she/he could use it. So, in my opinion, it is better...

I have another question. Why so may pedals don't have "expression in" jack for some key pots so that it'd easy to connect your expression pedal if you need this? Basically, it's just replacement of the potentiometer.
