The experts like skreddy say the 1kc pot for fuzz is a key to getting the increase in gain throughout the pot's rotation.
I have 5kc pots. How will these affect the pedal? I know putting a resistor across the legs to get 1k resistance will change the taper and might make it more linear than antilog. SO how will a 5k change the fuzz?
increase, decrease or what?
I tried 1kB on a lunar modeule type fuzz AND the fuzz is all in the last 10% of the rotation. Not that great. All or nothing is poor form for a pedal that should be very versatile.
You can use a 1K fixed resistor in place of the usual control and wire your 5K-C pot as a variable resistor in series with the 22uF cap. Lug 3 connected to negative side of 22uF, lug 2 goes to ground. Leave lug 1 unconnected.
That should work just fine.
