mbe Posted April 17, 2007 Report Posted April 17, 2007 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? Quote
venominox Posted April 19, 2007 Report Posted April 19, 2007 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. Quote
jnewman Posted April 19, 2007 Report Posted April 19, 2007 (edited) 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? Edited April 19, 2007 by jnewman Quote
