Kappasitanz Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 i just read the tutorial in the main page about altering the value of pots... but it only shows how to lower it ... is there a way to rise the value, like from a 250k to a 500k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USAF1989 Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Can you raise the value of a resistor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegarehanman Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 No, raising the value is not worth the effort, and likely can't be done well. Just shell out a couple of dollars for the right potentiometer and be done with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyManAndy Posted July 5, 2007 Report Share Posted July 5, 2007 Or you could order one online? CMA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 Obviously the best solution is to order the correct part. Even the tutorial mentions that this should only be done on a Sunday when nobody is open. The problem with increasing the resistance is there will be no way to turn it down. If you add 250K in series, you're volume will never go above half. You can cut resistance in parallel and still adjust it... but it probably messes with the log formula, too. I wouldn't do either one, really... I'd rather just use what I had laying around until the new part comes in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
