So I'm trying to wire up some tone pots, and I manage not to get a low pass filter. Instead I get a pot that can modulate the frequency. Have any of you guys seen this?

Pls share it with us

A potentiometer cannot modulate the frequency, it is a variable resistor that resists electrical pressure and current at different intensities when it's wiper crosses the phenolic wafer. Such as in an octave pedal, the potentiometer can be used as a blend or intensity unit.

It's possible you made a bandpass filter accidentally which could sound vaguely like modulation, or that your values are a little different and just sound different from a normal tone control. Can you post pictures or a schematic of what you did?
