What Pot Is In The PPIMV Kit?
Is it a "411A500K X2" as on the pot? I thought that it was two 1 meg pots on one shaft, not two 500K pots on one shaft.
Thanks,
Rick

there are two version of the master volume used here i believe one using a dual 500k and one using a dual 1meg - of the two version i believe its the dual 500k that sounds better which is why its in the store. if memory serves me correctly.Hazy wrote:Is it a "411A500K X2" as on the pot?

in other words which ever one George is selling i think its based on whats been found here to sounding the best.

I thought that most had gone to the dual 1 meg because it gets the system closer to the 220k resistor values and felt that it sounded better.
Feel free to help me out here.
Seems that the recent consensus was that the dual 1 meg was the better choice. Actually, on George's website store, the dual 1 meg is the part that's listed.

well its been so long sense i messed with that MV but again what ever George is selling i do believe its based on the fact that many here have tried both and one of them sounds better. being the one he sells. perhaps he or others will chime in here.Hazy wrote:I thought that most had gone to the dual 1 meg because it gets the system closer to the 220k resistor values and felt that it sounded better.Feel free to help me out here.

I just finished installing the one that I got from George. Can't crank it until tomorrow AM...family sleeping. The anticipation is killing me.

I'm glad that it's totally reversible...useless is all I can think of. I'd rather use my pedal board.rockstah wrote:hey Rick,

I'm talking about the PPIMV with the dual 500k pot. Am I missing something? Sounds like Cr%#%TYp. George, is dual 500k correct?
