So it's rewiring and hence pot choosing time...
I'm not clear with the descriptions given of Taper A being "fast roll-off", vs J's "more control". More control lower down so you can get more variation of low gain when your amp is cranked, or more control in the highest gain bit so there's a load of fine tuning of high gain, but you're unlikely to get much variation of low gain sounds before it suddenly disappears to nothing?
Also, I don't remember there being different tapers available before. So how do these compare to the old BKP 550k pots I already have in various other guitars of mine? Which is the closest taper?
Volume
So am I right in thinking with a high gain amp setting:
Taper A/Fast/10%: Gain drops quickly to medium gain, but then you get a lot of lower gain variation
Taper J/Slow/30%: Gain slowly drops to medium gain, but then will quickly disappear to nothing
(BD is somewhere in the middle)
Or have I misunderstood and that's the other way around (fast = fast roll-off from the middle to nothing/slow=more control of higher gain area)?
Tone
What about using them for tone pots? (in my brain I'm thinking it may be the other way around if using the other half of the pot wiper)
Does A mean it gets dark quick with a lot of variation of dark, vs J is lots of brighter variations with it only getting dark at the end? Or is that the other way around?
Any experience of each and why you prefer what?
Thanks.
