I feel the are pretty smooth. But then again, other than the blender, I usually just leave everything on ten. I have to sand down the volume knob I got today, I'll have a better idea by then.

I'm eternally twiddling the knobs. I play clean at 3 ish, and crunch at 8/9ish. I rarely have the volume all the way up. I also constantly mess with the tone controls, especially on the bridge and bridge/middle.

to get a more smooth distribution of volume/tone, is it the linear pots which are desirable?

is it the logarithmic pots which have all of that action in a narrow area near the extreme, then very little effect over most of the rest of the movement? like 95% action in 20% of the movement as mentioned?...

^ Other way around with the pots. We hear kinda logarithmically

interesting... so linear are the pots with the big action within a narrow distance... thanks

Yep log is the ticket.

Found the soldering station. No luck on solder/flux/clips and stuff.

I'm sorry, but I can't even understand this for a feminine person/s:

hmm, nah I think the ones with a accentuating curve are log.
linear is like a straight line, and log is like a mathematical power-
it is a curved line

for those with wandering volume pot issues.

these may help

Edit, nah. It's only 6 mo no interest (which is ok, but kinda lame)

I gotta get rid of a bunch of stuff, I just have too much.

Just a bump as I hate it when this thread falls onto the second page.

Your next guitar?
