Touchy volume control

Post by ampedup »

My sunn 2000s clone's volume control goes from nothing to loud almost immediately. it's an audio taper 500k pot. is there any fix for this other than getting a multiturn type pot? http://www.prowessamplifiers.com/schema ... 2000S.html

Reminds me of my Express clone. Comes on early with little clean. lol.

The trick here is to look for a 10% audio taper pot - i have had good luck with CTS 1 Meg audio taper.
