dmc Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 I have a Hohner B Bass 5 that uses linear volume pots for the pickups and they seem to have very little range to them and the don't interact well either. Would Log pots do a better job? On the other hand, my Tune TWB53 uses Linear pots and they work perfectly. The Tune does have a better circuit but that shouldn't matter too much as far as the pots go. The Hohner is basically new so the pots are in good shape.

Ripthorn Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Volume pots are typically, though not always, log, since the human ear's amplitude response is fairly logarithmic. If it sounds like it has very little range, try a log pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmc Posted November 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 That's what I figured and I was surprised to see they used linear pots. What I don't get is why the linear pots in my Tune work so well. Log like if you will. I'll have to ohm them out on both guitars and see how they compare.
