Title: Passive volume control kills highs...
Post by: markr04 on June 18, 2005, 01:05:12 AM
I built a passive volume control between the effects loop of my amp. It's just a 100K pot. As I turn it down, the highs disappear. I seem to remember some guitars with a capacitor in parallel across the volume pot legs to help the highs go through. Any tips on cap value here?
