    Pot values for the volume knob: which do you prefer? Ever tried a 1meg pot?

    I have an American deluxe strat with Fender samarium cobalt noiseless single coils throughout, which currently has a 250k pot for the volume control. I’m going to put a Dimarzio virtual vintage solo in the bridge and change the 250k pot to a 1meg, as I’m supposed to be able to get everything...

    Anyone use the SansAmp PSA-1?

    I use this preamp and I love it. I’ve always been quite fond of Tech 21’s products, starting with the GT2, which I still have and still believe it’s one of the best distortion pedals you can get because it sounds like an amp. Currently, I’m using the PSA-1 into my PA with a DBX 160A compressor...
