Hi all.
I built some kind of volume-boost (cut) out of an old footswitch and some parts I had lying about.
I used a 500k logarithmic potentiometer, a small cap (~1nF) and a switch to bypass the circuit. In the FX loop it sounds pretty neutral and when switched off it gives the volume boost the whole thing was about, I'm actually quite content with the result.
But anyway, adjusting the volume cut with the pot is kind of hard. I just want a small cut and the way it works right now, only the first few degrees of the pot are really useable, so I thought about trying out a smaller pot to make the whole thing less sensitive and easier to adjust.
What do you think, will a 100k pot work better?
I don't have to fear the sound changing completely after this small modification, do I?
Logarithmic is the right choice for this job, isn't it?
Thanks for your input!
