basically, ernieball make 2 different versions, one with 250k pot and the other with 25k. what they claim is: 250k suitable for passive instruments, 25k for active instruments. can't see the point of that really, but I know nearly nothing about electronics so my opinion does not matter.
My pedal WAS a 250k model, they sent me this 25k instead. so:
1) the pot for the volume JR (my pedal) is of a strange size and dimension, so it is impossible (I think) to find it somewhere else than by ernieball;
2) sending i t back and having the proper one could be a long and extenuating task, since I have to go though authorized dealer-->italian distributor-->ernieball USA, and back... it was even hard to obtain the part number at ernieball! and the distributor (fine people, really)did not have the part in the catalogue...
3) if it works anyway, then it's ok. after all, when the pedal is in "open" position, I don't think the value of the pot is important, right?
well, let's see.
Thanks for your help lee!
