Hotswitch Mod - can I use a 3PDT to swicth out the master volume?

[Gareth81]

Has anybody tried using the hotswitch mod with a 3PDT switch to disengage the master volume when normal gain is selected?
Any potential issues?


Many Thanks

From The Trainwreck Pages we can see 4 different basic types of master volume arrangements, which are you asking about?
But for any of them, turning them up full should, to all intents and purposes, take them out of circuit, and allow full gain. The loss caused by the master volume track load under such circumstances is somewhere between 0 and -1.5dB, ie negligible.

Please provide more info about what amp and mod you are talking about.

Apologies, I am referring to Doug's hotswitch mod, in a 5f6-a circuit.
