honeydripper pot question.

[danwelsh]

hi guys, just wondering if i subbed a smaller pot value for the fuzz pot on the honeydripper would i get more range? or would it have to be a higher value or would either even do anything different?

[stecykmi]

i believe the fuzz control actually acts like a blend control between the fuzz and clean signal, so changing the value won't really help.

what do you mean by "range" exactly?

[danwelsh]

It doesn't really seem like i'm getting a very big change between ccw and clockwise on the pot, there's a subtle difference or is that the way it's supposed to be?

Dan- are you sure that you have R3 and R2 correct? It has quite a bit of gain on tap and it should not be subtle.

i recheck those values again, also maybe my pot is bad.....i took that pot outta an old keyboard i had(it's a dual gang 10kb pot), the other one for the sweep works fine(brand new pot)...thanks Brian.

It was the pot , works good now.
