Hello all, could use some help here. I have a Fender hot rod Deville (yeah I know it's a cheaper tube amp, but at least it's tube lol) and the main problem I am having is the volume goes from soft to ear splitting. Well I ran across this comment on a Fender board the other day,
"simple fix... shouldn't turn you away from the amp. they ship stock with linear volume pots, you need audio taper. they do this because they can buy them cheap, and it gives the perception of more power. (wow, it's only on 3 and it's THAT loud?) the audio taper will be more smooth, but able to achieve the same volume.... it just will come later in the dial
Problem is, I dont know which audio taper pot I need to do this. The board I found that on is a pretty deserted one, so, could somebody lend me a hand here? Thanks!
