Re: How do the values of a 250k pot vs. 500k pot effect performance?
Well, found a 250K push/pull pot. Measured it at 220K. A bit low, but installed it anyway since I'm only using one volume control in a bright guitar and am primarely interested in the differences with the 500K pot.
Just finished soldering and tried it out over a ADA-MP1 and Marshall 9100.
Sound is definitely a lot drier.
Pickups stay as tight as they were, so no negative effect as far as bass response.
The spec'd EQ curve of the pickups becomes more apparant. That slightly nasal high mid spike that's annoyed me at flat eq settings is gone.
As stated by blueman335 and other posters: a bit less high end output shrillness. The B mode and Presence Control of the 9100 are now a lot more useable for me (not just for reaaally true black metal anymore). Also noticed less buzzing/inteference than I'm used to.
So far, I think it's an improved over the previous tones I was getting. Might try a 300K push/pull pot in the future, but have to try it with my other amp first though.
