value of resister to lower 10k pot to 7.5k pot

Very helpful .. Can you help me with resistor size ? i've got a 500K CTS pot reading 776k ..what resistor do I need to get to 500k ? thanks for any help with this

Very helpful ... thanks

Exactly what I was looking for. Good and well explained!

Effing useless video - delete

I'm trying to use the Zoom G3 right now, but it's inconvenient to switch patches, so I bought a dual momentary switch and connected it to the control input, hoping it would work as I wanted. However, it doesn't work, haha. Now, I've ordered a dual latching switch and am waiting for it to be delivered. Your switch is exactly what I want. I'm jealous!! :)

Hey Man, I'm Jay Steele in Tampa I'm sorry to bother you but I know your somewhat of an expert with the zoom g3x. I use it with all my acoustic guitars and know how to adjust the expression pedal for out put volume which is all I need. I have the external foot pedal fp02 and there is NOTHIN whatsoever in the manual and on the internet regarding setting up the external foot pedal. I have been able to only alter the system to where when I select bypass in ctrl, and then depress the external fp02 it takes me into the tuner (no Mute which would have been cool if it muted) so I've only been able to do that. I would like to use the fp02 as a master volume for the whole thing which would free up the expression pedal for other utility. All there is out there for over ten years are numerous people like me asking this same question with zero responses. If you have a solution to this I would be very grateful. Thank you in advance, Jay Steele jaysteele midiband

The ZNR didn't work out for me men what should i do?

My G5 zoom has errors on all four displays. Images without definition and erased. Could you help me with any tips?

I have a Boss pedal with defective stacked (double) pot. Originally one is 50k and the other is 250k. The problem is I only find 250k/250k stacked pots, so how could I convert one of the 250k pot to a 50k?

Bro .. where'r u got the footswitch ?? Or what its name ??

Od to ZNR to Amp to EQ to Reverb

What happens if you wire 1-2 together and leave 3. I think I smoked my potentiometer doing that 😅

What’s the equation to calculate the overall resistance? If I have a pot that goes from 0 to R1, and I want to lower that to RT, how do I calculate the resistance R2? In series the resistance just adds. In parallel, it’s RT = 1/(1/R1 + 1/R2), right? So is this new resistor in series or in parallel? Paul

But doesn’t this mean that the pot can’t get to zero resistance anymore? It started out going from 0 to 488k. Now with the resistor of R Ohms wired in, doesn’t the pot now go from R Ohms to 488k Ohms, or 488k + R Ohms? I’m confused. I’m using two pots wired in series for speed control of a DC motor. I’m using a SCR with 120 vac input followed by a bridge rectifier to convert to DC. My motor starts turning at 140k Ohms. So that’s the value I need. But I can’t find 140k pots. I get a 127k pot and a 15k pot and wire them in series for a course and fine speed control. I’d love to be able to tweak a pot to increase or decrease its resistance, but it needs to have a zero. Your video on increasing the resistance was good. Scrape away some carbon and…wait. Shouldn’t that decrease the resistance? You have less material so less resistance? Now I’m really confused. But I’d like to be able to tweak my pots to slightly increase or decrease their resistance. What are your recommendations on type of pot (ceramic, plastic, Cermet etc) and how to tweak them to get as close to 140k as possible. Thanks for this video. You have opened my eyes. Not sure I understand yet, but they’re open. Paul

Depending who much of an increase you want, you can scrap off a little of the carbon on the top. I wanted a 1meg pot but instead of buying one, I took a 500k to 800 by doing that.

snap goes the screw

Ok so i did this to two pots and wrecked them both within 10 minutes. CTS 500k pots and did not overheat or oversolder. The most minor amount of heat for just enough time to put a tiny drop of solder was enough to short out the lugs connection to the surface inside. Putting heat directly to the opposite side of the lug like you show melted the connection to the resistant surface inside the pot. The better way is to just run a resistor to the outer two lugs where you'd normally solder the pickup wires. Speaking from my shitty experience last night. The lugs detach and short out the signal intermittently. You can actually wiggle the lug up and down when this happens. Thats how i figured out what was happening.

I knew it! Thanks dude!

Thank you ❤

Personally I'd only want the either both together both up or both down good video

How would this work with a no load pot?

So cool to understand this stuff. Thanks man. Right in the middle of fixing my guitar, because of bad factory soldering and whatever other mysteries that were in there. So ive had to learn. And you helped heaps.

EXCELLENT

Where can i Buy this patch Select?

Excellent method,thaks fo sharing

What is the maximum value you can increase?

Hello, noob question... how is it posible that by removing resistive material you are increasing the resistance? shouldn't be the opposite, that adding material to the carbon track will make the resistance of the pot increase? Thanks!

Bro, that worked like a champ. Took a 230k to 256k in a few minutes. Thanks for sharing. The technique of angling the blade correctly takes a minute to understand. Once you get that, you’re golden.

Trimming a potenciometer that way will modify its curve, right? Is it significant?

I'm not sure the pot will do anything until it's turned down to the value of the resistor, here 300k...? So, with audio taper, quite a way down. Is that anyone's experience? I just bought some 500k push-pull pots because they were a lot cheaper than other values, so that's why I'm interested.

This is cool. But I’m not clear on what you’re scraping. Are you shaving the carbon ring so it’s smaller in OD and larger in ID? I would think that by removing material your Ohms would go down, not up. Does this work for conductive plastic as well as carbon? Is there a way to decrease the resistance? Thanks for sharing. Paul

What about lightly sanding with fine grit sandpaper? Thanks

I'm wondering if the hiss is what they did on purpose with the amps? really annoying even using ZNR because you hear while playing

Thanks man! You literally saved me hundreds of dollars and hours of time. I almost took back my zoom g2x 4 because all of the patches are noisy and hummy. I'm not the type of person to fiddle with settings too much, I just want things to work. I like zoom products because they are relatively user friendly and this model has tones by decade so it's easy to find something I want to use. I get lost in all the amp modeling and signal chain routing features of the mx5 etc. Now I have a sweet compact unit without the hum! Cheers!

how is the knob taper after you do it like this? My multimeter is showing the resistance at its highest somewhere in the middle of the turn and then goes back down to the expected value.

我有一个300k 的电位器，但是测试阻是100k 按照你的方法，我没有成功！请问如何解决》？

Nice

Excelente vídeo muchas gracias

Best video this week! 👍🏻

WAIT!!! You never showed HOW you got the top pedal off! I need to re-grease the pivot axel, but I can't figure out how to take the top (rocking part) of the pedal off! Thanks!

Good technique and well shown.

Thanks this is what I was looking for. I recently change the 1000k pot on my jazz master to 500k, I like it but sometimes I miss the open bright sound of the 1000. I think ill change back and put a resistor with a switch, so I can have 1meg on one position and 500k on the other.

Thanks. I just found a strange 375k pot in a Kay Vanguard K310 Pickguard, so this should help me knock some 500k pots down to 375k if I want to build a 3 pup guitar.

I shouldn't have watched this before bed. That lick is going to repeat allll night in my head.

Very useful information. I've got a bridge pickup on a Strat that is way too bright on a 250k pot with 2Meg (1M +1M) Capacitor. Looking forward to trying out reducing the pot value with a Resistor. Thanks

hello, your contribution is very important, sincerely thank you, can you share the diagram for the G3, thank you!

How do you get the treadle off? My peg will NOT budge. I've sprayed PB blaster all around the joints and still no dice.
