1959 build - guitar hearable even if volume pots at 0

Post by djseban » Sat Sep 28, 2013 7:42 am

Hi,

I've built next amp from scratch, this time my choice was JMP1959. And here is the problem: even if I roll down volume pots to 0 guitar is still hearable (although it's pure clean). Is it normal in 1959s? I checked ground on volume pots - it's good, I've even changed wire from 0.5mm to 0.75mm. I'm on Larry Grounding Scheme.

Best

Actually it's normal. Original ones even do it. Ask George.
