SSS volume pot

Post by grtamp »

In first stage SSS , does anyone use 1M volume (after treble pot) with 1M/0.1uF LNFB?
This match seems to me get louder volume at low setting! maybe 100K pot volume can make difference!?

Good point. I have a 100k volume pot. SSS#002 scratch build.

When I fired it up my first impression was: this amp is not very loud with volume at 10 o´clock. First I thought it was due to a volume drop in the filter section. I bypassed it with a patch cable, but the increase in volume is less than I expected. Maybe I sould try a 1M pot. ODS with classic tone stack have 1MA too.

Thanks for that hint.

I have 100k vol pot, w/1nF bright cap and 1M/0.1uF lnfb, 1M master vol and all works fine.
With bright cap value below 1nF I have no effect and if I try PAB circuit doesn't work!
