Hi there, im just rebuilding my marshall shreadmaster pedal, i just tested all the pots for the low output fault i took it apart for, i assumed at first that it was the volume pot but that tested at about 5 ohms? and the bass control one tested at 0 ohms?!?!? i only just recently got the multimeter but i am doing it correctly, iff the pot is giving a reading like this would that most likely be why the pedal was giving out such a low output? jack
