radansey Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I have an original (non trim-pot) Tonepump in the Spector I'm refurbing. Not too keen on 2 volume pots, so my intention is to replace the two 500K log pots with a dual-gang 500K blend-pot and connect one of the redundant volume pots to the output of the Tonepump. Is this value for the volume pot OK? I've looked here [url="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/695/bp42pickupsbal.jpg/"]http://imageshack.us...pickupsbal.jpg/[/url] and it shows a 50K pot (although this is for the later trim-pot version). Any help please? Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icastle Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I would guess that the basic circuit design is the same between the 'with' and 'without' trimpot versions of the tonepump. A 50KΩ pot should be fine for a volume control. The worst thing that 'could' happen by using a wrong value pot is that the volume control might not kill off all of the signal when it's fully backed off.
