glitterratti - pot drive

[A1Full]

hi, the pot "1M lineal "of the drive is very violent! could someone tell me how to do to be of low to high smoothly. at 8hs very little gain, at 9hs has too much gain.
thanks

You could try a C taper pot, and maybe lower the value to 500K or even 250K.

thanks for replying, but you do not happen?

Actually, a log/audio taper pot will work better in this situation for what the OP is wanting. A "C" taper (reverse audio) will actually make the gain come up faster than a linear pot.

but then, you should do? the pass is too violent for little gain a lot of gain, I want it to be slower

[oldhousescott]

A log/audio pot will make the gain come up slower at the start, and for most of the rotation. The gain will come up faster in the last bit of travel at the CW (maximum) end, from about 3 o'clock to 5 o'clock.

The glitterratti doesn't have a whole lot of range in the overdrive to begin with.  It's kind of like all or nothing with a little change in between.

if true, so wondered if there was any way to make it more moderate?

You're right. I meant to hit A. I hit C, and didn't go back and change it.

Use a lower value pot.  But your kind of defeating the goal of this pedal IMO.

then, there is no solution? is thus the circuit?

[oldhousescott]

Try a 1M log/audio pot for the gain pot and see if you like it. It won't change the function of the pedal, it will just spread the low range of gain across a broader rotation of the pot, while bunching up the high gain portion of the range toward the CW end of rotation. The main thing is for you to experiment until you're happy with it.

thank you very much everyone for responding, I'll tell you then the best option!
