Volume drops
I just built a 5F2A amp and I'm getting volume loss at different points on the volume control as I turn it up. At 0-1 there is no sound, then 1-4ish there is sound, then it drops out again, then comes back, etc. as the volume control is wound up. Any suggestions for troubleshooting?

Re: Volume drops
Did you solder anything to the back of the pots? The carbon strip is easily damaged when overheating while solderingHiwatt5 wrote: ↑Tue 03/07/23 11:14 amI just built a 5F2A amp and I'm getting volume loss at different points on the volume control as I turn it up.
