Pots For Volume Swells

Derrick Mau · From: Honolulu, Hawaii, USA

What's the best type of pots to get for doing volume swells?

Derrick, is there something you're attempting that a regular volume pedal won't accomplish? Please elaborate a little for us!

Don,

I'm looking for a pot that opens to full volume right away.

The current pot I'm using doesn't do that till the very end.

Try a 1 meg linear taper pot. I think that'll give you what you want. If that's still not "fast" enough for you, go to a 2 meg or 5 meg. Linear pots are pretty cheap, so experimenting with what's best for you will only be a few dollars.

Thanks for your help Don. Will give it a try. Very Happy

Try interchanging the two wires on the outside terminals of the (log taper)pot and wrap the string in the opposite direction. This may give the results you want without the labor of changing a pot.
