Pedulla Pentabuzz NTMB Trim Pots

[b1644]

Hello,

Just thought I'd post this info from Christine at Pedulla.com... it's about the trim pot settings of Pedualla Pentabuzz basses with the Bartolini NTMB electronics...

To answer your questions regarding the trim pots in our NTMB system in the PentaBuzz model:
The trim pots on the mini toggle switch adjust the amount of boost & cut and the trim pot on the back of preamp module adjusts overall gain.
To set the trim pots to our default settings, use a small screwdriver to turn each of them fully counter-clockwise, then turn them clockwise until they are each at the position listed below:
- Overall gain (Trim pot that is by itself on the back of a module): 2:00 position
- Mid boost (Trim pot on the mini toggle, furthest from bridge): 12:00 position
- Mid cut (Trim pot on the mini toggle, closest to bridge): 9:00 position

Reviving this thread because I'm not sure I understand exactly the trims on the mid switch. On mine, there is not trim "furthest from the bridge" or "closest to the bridge". They are both parallel to the bridge in the electronics cavity. From what I can tell, most of them are this way. So what is meant by closest to the bridge and furthest from the bridge?

I will save this thread since I am picking up a Pentabuzz in February.

Any idea where 12 noon is on the blue pot? (or is all the way counter clockwise = "7am" and all the way clockwise = "5pm?")... the blue pot does not make a full turn, but about 10/12ths of a turn.
