Well there has been quite a few of these amps built with 250kL bass pots so this thread is going to cause a whole lot of people to change it out. :)

Ceriatone uses 250kA in their LP.

Dear FunkMeBlue

It has been eight years since those drawings and I do make reference to both Liverpool amps that I had shots of.

Based on that, I'd say that I did see a 250K bass pot in one of the amps. The pots were clarostats.

Personally, I don't think it is a big deal if you use 250K or 1M as we are talking about change at the end of the taper.

I think the thing to remember during this time I was giving everyone the best information available at the time. If you ever get curious try replacing the 1M tone control pots with 250K pots. To my ears it's a different amp.
Yours Sincerely

I hate to keep asking the same question so is there any linear pots being used? or are they all audio?

mid pot is 25k linear presence is 25k linear volume is 1 meg audio treble is 1 meg audio and I used 250k audio for bass after trying the 1 meg audio for bass.....with everything on noon and cts pots it sounded much better to me
anything worth doing, is worth doing right

I've been through my pictures and I didn't see a shot which had a250K bass pot. I did have a hand drawn circuit that shows a 1M pot.

Sorry for the confusion. In short I assume the pot is 1M but I'm not sure either way. Allyn would know for sure.

I did mean to ask what difference did you notice between the 250K and the 1M pot.
