The Dude Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 So I ve asked a similar question in the wrong dept. but maybe someone around here can help. I have a dynaco pat 4 with a bad treble pot so I would like to replace it, the only one around that I can seem to find with in a reasonable price is a 50k ohm pot. What kind of issues will I have with this, the only reason why I want to place it is so I can center it better so it will be flat. Or is it possible to take it out completely and just put a resistor in. Will appreciate any feedback. thanks duder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJkizak Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 You mention "reasonable price", what is an unreasonable price? JJK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest David H Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 duder, make sure you replace the pot with a linear taper, not an audio taper. This might be a good place to find your answer. http://dynacotubeaudio.forumotion.com/basket-f2/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted July 12, 2009 Author Share Posted July 12, 2009 You mention "reasonable price", what is an unreasonable price? JJK $5.00 as in $30.00 I dont want to put alot into, cause I plan on replacing all the guts with a diy kit down the road. I just want to make the treble and bass equal between the two channels. nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerwoodKhorns Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 If you are looking for a temporary fix until you rebuild/modify the the amp, can't you just put a resistor in there and live without the tone control or bypass it completely?

The Dude Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 After GotHover pointed me to the dynaco forum, and I posted there. I shortly got an email from Bob telling me he had a good pat-4 treble pot, that would give me just for the price of shipping. I want to say thanks to all for your input, especially GotHover for pointing me in that direction. I might seem a bit excited over just a pot but its nice to get a little help when you don't have much to give. So thanks to all.
