I received my SP1 two days ago and opened it last night. The bass is gorgeous, but I’m noticing something odd with the volume knob. Instead of a smooth, gradual 1–10 volume sweep like I’ve experienced with every other instrument I’ve owned, this volume knob behaves differently and think I may have a problem.
At full volume (10), I set my peak in Logic at −8 dB. At 0, it registers no sound, which is expected. However, during the first 60% of the knob’s rotation, the volume stays extremely low, hovering between −45 dB and −40 dB. From roughly 60–80% of the turn, it increases to around −35 dB to −30 dB. In the final 20% of the turn, the volume spikes sharply to between −12 dB and −8 dB.
This doesn’t seem normal for a volume pot. Let me know what you think.
In other words: at 0 it’s silent, which is normal. From 1–6, the volume remains very low and barely changes as the knob is turned. From 6–8, it gets slightly louder, and then from 8–10 the volume jumps dramatically.
