Hello All

Been working on a DOA wah today. Added true bypass, LED, battery kill switch. I was moving on the ICAR pot replacement and then to the Fasel Inductor piece, but I've been having some trouble with the pot. I replaced it with a CTS ICAR taper pot from Area 51. After hooking the leads up and manually turning the pot with my fingers I hear a clicking sound at two points within the pot. One in the higher register and one at the lower register. Clicking also occurs before reaching the min or max of the pot.

I have the leads set up correct (I think). Basically, I have it the only way for it to 'sweep' right. I thought I hosed something else, so I hooked up the original dunlop pot, and it's smooth, no clicking. Could this be a bad pot, or am I missing something?

Thanks!
