Studioplayer Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 What are the values of the two Studio Custom volume pots on my '05? I have been dialing in my amps by setting my Hamer's volumes in the 3 to 4 range. Is this what most owners do, or isit preferable to start with both volumes on 10 and adjust the amp from that point?Studioplayer
veatch Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 Hamer uses 500k with a special audio taper. As far as setup, if it sounds good, it is good.
RobB Posted August 17, 2013 Posted August 17, 2013 For single-channel amps, I find that, for chords: neck 6-8/bridge 10. Leads: bridge on 10.For channel-switcher amps: channel one, light OD, bridge on 10. Channel two (distortion), bridge on 10.I really like the taper on Hamer's pots. There are lots of tones to be had, even with the master tone control...My Budda SD18 LOVES the vol/tone controls on my Newport! Jangle to distorto with minimal effort.

I really don't know which end of the volume pots provide the greatest selection, but I've been experimenting with neck on 6 or so and bridge on 8+ or so for a medium distortion on neck and bridge for both chords and single notes. I have been used to my Les Paul where I e.q. to the neck pickup with my amps up high and volumes around 2 to 3.Studioplayer
RobB Posted August 18, 2013 Posted August 18, 2013 RobB - Newport with Phat Cats or Hums??\ Actually, TVJones Classics in the English-mount rings. It's a "Gretsch-a-Hamer." You can get a real clang-y snarl out of this guitar. Sounds beauty clean, too. I really should photo my NGD's of the last 2yrs or so. Maybe when I finish the wiring on my V I'll do some archive photos, but... DUFFMAN: "Duffman will probably blow it off! OOOHYEAH!"

What are the values of the two Studio Custom volume pots on my '05? I have been dialing in
my amps by setting my Hamer's volumes in the 3 to 4 range. Is this what most owners do, or is
it preferable to start with both volumes on 10 and adjust the amp from that point?
