Hi,

First time poster, long time lurker!

I just bought a Sovtek Big Muff, almost mint condition in box, but one thing seems kind of "off": the knob for distortion goes from 10 o'clock to 3 o'clock, where the 10'clock is max, i.e. upside down.

This strikes me as not intuitive, and was wondering if this is normal for all the Sovtek Big Muffs?

Could of course just open her up and flip the potmeters, but don't think I'm gonna tinker too much with it. ;)

I think your knob is just facing the wrong way. Pull it off, rotate the pot to the minimum setting, and then push the knob back on pointing at about 7 o'clock (use the other knobs at minimum setting for reference).
