Title: Sunking Pot Question
Post by: gabu1306 on May 14, 2011, 09:48:31 PM
I just finished building a sunking and had a question about the pots. My gain pot is 16mm dual gang, but my volume and tone are both 24mm because small bear was out of 16mm. Is this going to make a change in the sound of the circuit? I also have not put in one of the resistors yet on the switch (broke) but i wanted to see if it worked. It sounds good, but not alot of gain, so i was wondering if this is because of the pot size differences or what? Here's the guts..

The 24mm won't affect the pedal in how it responds.  Your not the first person to mention having low gain, but I'm not sure what guitars they are using.  If I use a tele on the neck pickup I'd say it's pretty low gain...If I use a bridge humbucker on a LP it can get really overdriven.
