Entry 26

A little bit about tone and volume knobs on a guitar, typically when you buy a guitar the factory puts 500k Ω controls in the guitar. There are aftermarket controls that are 250k Ω. I always replace the 500k with the 250k. The reason has to deal with ohms lets explain it like rocks in the river. for the 500k controls that means there is 500 ohms in the river when you have 500 rocks in the river the stream will flow a lot slower than if there were 250 rocks in the river. What Im getting at is the 250 ohm controls have less resistance than the 500 ohm controls, therefore the signal flows a lot faster with less resistance while using the 250 ohm controls.
