Maybe? There's going to be some weird impedance stuff going on, but it might work.

XLR attenuators are like $10 though and less kludgy. Or DIY an H-pad with 5 resistors in an XLR pass-through barrel.

Word, you're both right that it'd make more sense. I'll just do the correct thing. What's a couple bucks' difference in this inflationary tailspin.

EXTREMELY SMALL QUESTION

The knobs on one of my guitars are very fast! I prefer them to be tighter and slower, so that I don't bump them out of place as often! Is there an easy fix for this?

Some people make a little foam donut to go under the knob. Might only work on strat-type knobs though, where there's a recess for the donut to fit.

Technique!

I kid. What Nate said. Friction is friction. If it isn’t strat style, you might try using some squishy/soft/thin material with double stick tape. Or that picture hanging foam type material 3M stuff if double stick isn’t working. Cut it in a circle slightly smaller than your knob, stick it to the pickguard/body, get your knob all the way making contact with the circle, tighten the set screw.

Or use these: https://reverb.com/item/44427094-d-adda ... t=44427094

There are also EVH branded high friction pots, though that's more invasive and they only come in 250K, it seems.

Equally invasive, but various brands of pots do feel different. You could read up on preferences, though that might involve wading perilously into realms og tone nerds.

This is very true. Ages ago I bought some Bourns pots for an amp and they were all crazy slippy slidey low friction. CTS by comparison are much more palatable to me.

Deoxit Fader Grease can also be used to damp the physical response of pots. Just squirt it in through the opening.
