other pot values than orig for live wires

[ledclone64]

i'm thinking bout using my guitars original volume and tone pots with my Kramer Pacer custom, original pots for live wires are 100k ohms and the ones fitted on the guitar is 200 kohm how does this change sound on the pickups the reason why i want to do this is because i can't find any 100kohm pots that fits in the holes on the guitar body and i don't wan't to drill these bigger since i want the body to be original. :wave:

I had 250k pots with my livewires and they were too bright and clanky. Since I couldn't find 100k pots I used a resistor in series with the pot to bring them down to about 150k.

Ok thanks! if i want to bring down my pots to 100kohm what value on the resistors am i going i need :wave:

Around 150k to bring a 250k pot to 100k. The values are approximate not absolute.

could you mail me a drawing exactly how the resisitors should be soldered
to the following mail:jonte64@tele2.se

You run the resistor from the hot lug on the control to the top of the pot.
