Members Hotblack Posted January 5, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 5, 2010 COMEON!!! Spill the beans. What are the extra switches for? It moves the internal trim pots to the outside.One is gain. I'm not sure what the other one does, but it makes the pedal far more versatile.

Members Hotblack Posted January 5, 2010 Author Members Share Posted January 5, 2010 Here's a Talkbass thread on the mod with some links on how to make it happen. It was actually pretty easy.All you need are a couple of 10K pots (available at Radio Shack), some extra wire to connect pots to board, soldering iron, and solder.

Members t3ch Posted January 5, 2010 Members Share Posted January 5, 2010 Yep. I had GM do that same mod for me, could get a more usable sound out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bluescout Posted January 5, 2010 Members Share Posted January 5, 2010 I went into mine a while back after hearing about the internal pots. I marked them and started turning but didn't seem to get much. Maybe I'll try again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sunburstbasser Posted January 5, 2010 Members Share Posted January 5, 2010 It takes a lot of damn fiddling but those trim pots are the key to making the Bassballs a usable filter. Moving them to the outside is an excellent idea and I recommend it for anyone who likes the Bassballs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least in the one I had, the circuit was very sensitive to even minor adjustments. There is a wide range where the settings are {censored}in useless, but you can dial in something nice with minor tweaks. YMMV? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
