BUILD volume knob Micro Pedal???

Sign in to disble this ad
Hi.

I have an EUB with no volume control. I need to make a micro pedal just like the one that Stellartone makes as a tone control but for volume.
http://www.stellartone.com/index.asp

Is it possible to do this? Could anybody tell me what I need and give me a step by step sort of thing?


Thanks,
Joshhttp:

volume pot goes in a little box with two jacks.

hot of one jack goes to the clockwise lug of the pot (looking at it from the bottom). this will be the input jack from the bass.

hot of other jack goes to center lug of pot. this will be the output to the amp.

grounds of both jacks go to each other, and to the third lug of the pot.

if this bass has a preamp, try a 50k linear pot. if it doesn't, and has a magnetic pickup, try a 500k linear pot. if it doesn't, and has a piezo pickup, get a preamp made for piezos and use its volume control.
