Hi,
As I understand it, the pot is 100K ohm, which is perfect with Green Bullets
or any dynamic mikes, but with crystals or ceramics, like Astatic
JT30's/Hohner Blues Blasters, this will have a more negative effect because
the pot's impedance is way too low and crystals/ceramics need a pot value of
at least 1megaohm and higher, preferably 5megaohms.
