first and foremost, it’s all my fault, and i’m aware that i’m a dork. that being said,
i had a russian big muff that i loved, but always wanted the nyc version. found one recently at a pawn shop that was a little beat up (just the way i like ’em) – it all worked great and i instantly fell in love. took it home, rocked out for a good 30 minutes, and then got a wild hair and decided to swap knobs with the russian… or at least see if it’s possible. unfortunately , the first thing that happened is i grabbed a hold of the sustain knob, tore it off, and the shaft broke off into the pot. i’m no electronics guy, so when i took it apart and looked at it i was clueless. is there a right way to take the old pot out and replace it? i bought a replacement and it’s just sitting here making me crazy. any help is appreciated. thanks…oh, and i plugged it back in to see if it would work without the sustain knob working, and no… the whole thing is dead. no idea why. help!
