Title: Pot Problem
Post by: MattTCG on March 17, 2014, 01:24:15 PM

I have a newly built crack with SB and a blue alps pot. Everything test great and sounds great as well. The only problem is when you turn the volume down the 0 where you can feel the potentiometer stop, there is a buzzing noise. It goes away as soon as you get the pot away from a full stop.

Any thoughts?

The wiper in the pot may be lifting from the resistive element it rubs against.

Thanks for the reply Doc. So is there a fix or would I need to replace the pot?
