As previously requested, I now have photos of these knobs/pots:Teacher's Pet wrote: Mon Nov 13, 2023 1:28 pm I want to restore some functionality to a seen-better-days workhorse DIY space PA mixer/amp (Samson S62).
It looks like it has a bunch of (14 total) broken pots where the shaft has been snapped off but NO...
... the pots actually don't have a shaft at all and the knobs have little "feet" that sort of clip onto the potentiometer. I was adjusting master volume using my thumbnail.
I don't recall ever seeing this before and I haven't had luck googling replacement knobs. I can't even find any knobs that resemble these snap-on specimens. WTF. Is there a name for these?

There’s a lot that goes into this. Guitar and setup, playing, how hot your pickups are, which pickup you’re using, eq, gear choice. I wouldn’t really start with a compressor but it could work. It also depends on the amount of gain you already have going… compression and distortion (also compressed) mixed together is a different thing than if you’re playing clean and then squashing it from there.Gramsci wrote: Wed Jun 19, 2024 4:02 am Compression and guitars…
I’m just getting back into making music after a break and have all my gear set up.

I’m having one problem, the clean signal and the higher strings being louder. Is this something I could solve with a simple compression pedal?
Yeah, much like with studio compression, guitar pedal compressors do a lot more to effect the tone than level out all of the notes. It's definitely a flavor, or a variety of flavors. You should watch a few demo videos to see if you like the vibe.llllllllllllllllllll wrote: Wed Jun 19, 2024 6:37 amThere’s a lot that goes into this.

But if you want to burn $150 you have a lot of options there. I like the Barber Tone Press since it has a mix knob which keeps the attack from sounding too thonky, but there’s all sorts of stuff out there. Cheap Dynacomps are cool but more for screwy lead stuff.
I would look at your pickup positions first, it might be that the coils are currently closer to the higher strings. Maybe setting up the pickup positions would solve this.Gramsci wrote: Wed Jun 19, 2024 4:02 am Compression and guitars…
