Mr. Foxen Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 The pots are the inside trickery of the knobs. If sound comes out when they are turned all the way down, its because they aren't perfect pots. Is it enough sound to be a problem? New pots is the answer then, pretty simple job generally.
