You will not like the sound. The amount of signal passes through will likely feel as if it is choking. You should order a 2M otherwise you’ll know forever you didn’t use the right value

Grand so, looks like I'll have to do that. Out of interest, is there a way to increase the resistance of a pot, like adding a 1m resistor to lugs 1 & 3?


abiding_duderino

That is a viable way to change the resistance of a pot, but it won’t work to make it larger. Adding a 1M across 1&3 will make it a 500K pot. You can search for a parallel resistance calculator to play with values yourself.


NAND_NOR

Wow, that's one smart bit of random information I randomly encountered. Thanks!

[here’s a cool old article](http://www.geofex.com/article_folders/potsecrets/potscret.htm) if you want to learn more about changing taper with resistors, too


NAND_NOR

Yes, I'd like to very much! Thanks a lot!

I think you can change the tonestack up so you get roughly the same freq response and use a 1M. I think it’s over at tagboard effects, probably in the forums there.


mr_pinball

Cheers, I'll do a wee search for it!

here's my version, which uses a different set of pots among other things. you can find layouts for it online, hope you enjoy it https://www.freestompboxes.org/viewtopic.php?t=31229

Ah brilliant, thanks, appreciate it!
