\"Potis\"<\/a>Looking at the pedalboards of other guitarists, I frequently find the effect pedal pots at 12 o\u2019clock position or even varying marginal from that standard position.
\nAlthough even overdrive pedals with only three knobs offer various options \u2013 if you are willing to use them.
\nThe range of a pot is mostly chosen in a way that creates even in extreme positions pretty good sounds.
\nIt is worth it to be brave and turn the pot to full clockwise or counterclockwise direction.<\/p>\n

First example: Fuzz effects<\/h3>\n

Concerning the Fuzz Face it is known to be common to max the fuzz pot\u00a0 because this offers the possibility to adjust the degree of distortion via the volume pot of the guitar.
\nAnd you can also set a beautiful clean sound by this.<\/p>\n

But also tone pots can be used in a heroically.<\/p>\n

Second example: Delays<\/h3>\n

In my honest opinion, the digital delay sound of the Source Audio Nemesis is much better subdued highs.
\nThe sound stays clear and defined but it also looses its sharpness.
\nFor the tape sound however, I turn the tone pot to full clockwise position to emulate the sound of an Echoplex.<\/p>\n

The first presets are only examples how to adjust the sound of a pedal and can mostly be improved.<\/p>\n

Third example: Amplifiers<\/h3>\n

It is the same with the pots of your amplifier.
\nNot infrequently the sound of an amplifier has been adjusted right after it has been bought and then the setting stays that way for all time.
\nLater you start searching for an amplifier with more bass and less highs instead of changing the tuning of the one you have got.
\nIt is worth it to apply yourself to your amplifier and try out different (maybe even extreme) setting options.<\/p>\n

Fourth example: Guitars<\/h3>\n

The pots of a guitar also prevail several nuances.
\nThere is an enormous interaction between the volume pot and the tone pot and in conjunction with varying pickups you can create a wide range of different sounds.
\nRecently, I read in a forum that a guy thought the sound of his Jazzmaster too shrill and thin.
\nThe other users proposed numerous modifications: different pickups, alteration of the pots values and so on.
\nI would recommend to wind down the volume and the tone pot a little bit while you turn on a booster.
\nIf the amp already overdrives this won\u2019t cause a difference of volume but leads the amp even more into saturation.<\/p>\n

Be brave and use the pots!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
