Blend pot problem   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #2568 of 2641 |
Are there any electronics gurus in here? I just replaced all pots in my 1998
Fodera Imperial
six string. It was made passive, but they had a printed circuit board with
soldered on pots in
it and the pickups were attached with little plugs. I replaced the circuit board
and soldered
everything exactly in the same way with new pots.

The blend pot gives a lot of output if completly in either bridge or neck
position, in the
center position the (formerly equally mixed) signal is very weak.

I tried a suggestion found in the talk bass forum: reversing in and output of
the blend pot -
without success: same problem.

Anyone got an idea? Maybe it has something to do with audio(logarithmic) or
linear behavoiur
of the blend pot? I don't know what it is. I ordered it at
guitarelectronics.com. It's a 500k pot,
like the old one.

TIA Hartmut
