Sunking Whine fix?

[ggarms]

Hey guys, I like many others have had the sunking whine issue. I tried everything, from changing the pump to probing to pulling my hair out. Nothing seemed to get rid of it. I was playing around with it this evening and threw a 470n between 1 and 3 on the volume pot and it took care of the whine. Completely gone. Further prodding found a 220n lowered the pitch of the whine, but didn't remove it. It's sounding pretty sweet now, and I can max out gain and tone without going deaf. Unless my ears are terrible, I'm not hearing a big difference in tone, almost none actually. Any thoughts? (Jon, bean etc
