Doing Things Wrong

Superfreaky Brain Fart

Not sure what possessed me at the time, but I built this with A250 tone pots and B500 volume pots, and the B pots are doing their usual on/off switch behavior - no change until almost zero, then cut off completely. After my most recent testing, I have concluded that B pots have no place in a guitar at all. I probably did this because I have just two A500 pots in the parts bin, one mini and one full sized. A few days ago I ordered a lot of them, when they come in, I will swap these out. In the meantime, the B's will do, especially at full volume, so I can check this thing out.

These are actually a couple of Amp-in-Case models, 1448 on the left, 1457 on the right. The cases had pretty much disintegrated, so I built new cabinets for them, a pretty neat design if I say so myself. I re-capped both and installed new Jensen speakers.
