thanks i will get another one pronto, its a sealed pot so nothing i
can really do about it. and its only a couple of dollars to get a new
one.
with the level, considering that i will be using the filter in a tweak
hard on the fly sort of role, would i be better off using the trim pot
to set the output level and then attenuator on the input, so that i
don't kill any club sound systems and peoples ears?
