  • Presence control working in reverse?

    Hi all!

    Just had a quick question. I recently rebuilt my Traynor YBA-4 amp to be closer to Marshall specs and used a 5kL pot for the presence control with 100k negative feedback resistor. I have the cap across the far left and center tabs and the ground wire on the far left tab (looking at the back of the pot). I feel like the amp is getting brighter and less negative feedback-y as I turn it down.

    Wondering if anyone has experienced this or if I was sold a reverse taper pot by mistake?

    The amp sounds amazing and the control works as expected...only opposite!

    Thanks!

    Taper only changes the rate of change, not the direction. Rewire your pot end for end.
