I had a hum problem, which I figured out thanks to you guys, but it just isn't acting right. The blend is not smooth at all. It kind of changes as if it were a notched switch, not changing at all, then taking a jump, then repeating that. Is that because of the linear taper? It also somehow seems to have affected the volume control, as it very slowly increases volume until it's about 3/4 full, then it jumps up much louder. I tried an MN taper blend pot, which was a disaster. It literally sounds like I have a 3-way switch installed. I did find a seller on Ebay that had one 250kA blend pot, which I ordered, but I'm curious if any of you might have some thoughts on this...Jim
