shezza Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Hi All, I have a new Epiphone EB3 (purchased off this forum) and have noticed that the volume is really just ON or OFF. There doesn't seem to be a gradual increase or decrease in sound. From turning the volume off I have to be really careful otherwise it comes on full. And from 2 its on full volume with no increase all the way around to 10 any ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommorichards Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 does it *click* when you go to zero? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Foxen Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Cheap nasty pots, all of the same type, because buying two different ones would harm economies of scale. Gotta switch them out yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinynorman Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 EB3? You've got two volume controls, right, one for each pickup? If either volume control is at 0, neither pickup will work, even if the other one's volume is on 10. If you bring the control that's on 0 to 1, the pickup that is on 10 comes in full volume. So that would give you the effect you're describing. I'm not 100% certain this is how the long scale Epis work, but I'd have another play with the controls before swapping pots.
