I installed a new Mojotone Vintage Taper Volume Pot in my Telostrat project and it works just fine up until it gets to the lower range of the pot. It shuts off at roughly where 2 would be, but if you keep turning it to full off it jumps back up to full volume but sounds dark, like I have a 50 foot long cable.

Volume jumps to max when pot at 0?

It sounds like something is wrong with the band inside...maybe it was overheated on install?Administrator of the SDUGF

It worked fine pre-install, I tested it with my multimeter. How would I know if I overheated it?
Also can someone warrant a guess as to why it sounds darker when it cuts back on? It's not so dark as to where I don't notice changes in my tone control setting.
