After seeing an interview with Lincoln Brewster (well known guitarist who formerly played with Steve Perry), he pointed out that everyone should have a "volume pot modification" that has a capacitor and resistor that allows one to back off the volume while not "losing the top end." I've experimented with backing off the volume on my Crowdster+ with a stereo cable. When backing off the volume, it does clean up but I can't tell if I'm losing the top end. The volume pot for the acoustic seems like a true volume pot - off to full without changing the tone.

What type of volume pots are on the Crowdster+? Would a "volume pot modification" be a worthwhile mod on a Crowdster+? If so, what type of modification?

Thanks for your help!

the electric volume pot has a resister and cap as all our guitars do. the acoustic is a 25k linear pot because it is active.

So my Crowdster+ electric volume pot already has the type pot that Lincoln Brewster referenced. Thanks for your help Tom!

i don't know what values he likes, but ours have had a 680pf cap and 160k res on them since the beginning.
