Members Bones Malone Posted September 14, 2009 Members Share Posted September 14, 2009 I've got a Fender Princeton 112 that goes from 0-Loud in .2 seconds on the volume knob. Anyone know how I can adjust this? And yes I do know that this amp sucks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more "normal" to use an audio tapered pot for volume controls so that it appears to get louder gradually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The slower taper of the box will give you better control over your volume. Don't confuse it with a "power attenuator" or think that it will "let you run your tubes hotter for better tone".

Members TornadoOfSouls Posted September 14, 2009 Members Share Posted September 14, 2009 where do I get one and how do I go about fixing it? These other fellas will direct you to exactly what you need but you'll have to remove a few wires from the old pot and resolder them onto the new pot then screw it back into the volume position. I don't know much about the Princeton but I assume the Master Vol is what you'd want to change not the preamp volume, if it has one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tele62 Posted September 14, 2009 Members Share Posted September 14, 2009 I agree with Sixtonoize, one of those cheapo eBay FX loop 'attenuators' would actually be ideal in this case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
