Members pathofspirit Posted February 3, 2010 Members Share Posted February 3, 2010 I just installed new pots/cap in a strat. Everything works except this one crucial issue: the volume pot only works as an on/off - in other words, it's on and then if I turn it a little it's off, not lower. What could the problem be?

Members guitarcapo Posted February 4, 2010 Members Share Posted February 4, 2010 Something is wrong with the pot. Test it with a meter. Is it one made for active pickups? Or maybe linear instead of audio taper? What is the impedance value? 500K? 250K? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members pathofspirit Posted February 4, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 4, 2010 You're right - it was the pot. These are 250k. The tone controls worked but the volume was simply acting on/off. I had a good 500k pot so I put that in and it works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
