Title: Valco Supreme
Post by: isaac_teller on January 20, 2021, 08:02:44 am

Hello. I'm building a clone of the Valco Supreme and I noticed that the volume control is only 100K. Isn't that kind of low for a guitar amp? Thank you in advance for any advice.

yes it's higher-loss impedance bridging than it needs to be, but it works

IMO amp will have more output with higher value like 1 Meg
