Just picked up a Freeze and I love it. However one of the ways I’m trying to use the pedal is by muting my amp head, sending a signal through the effect, unmuting and then gradually turning up the Effect Level knob to slowly bring in a drone before playing over it. It works like a charm but unfortunately the pot is scratchy until about the 10 o’clock position. Instead of a smooth swell I get disappointing crackles.

I’ve read that there are certain types of pots, in volume pedals especially where this is normal but since you can’t believe everything that you read, I’d like to hear that (or a solution) straight from the horses mouth.
