Re: Replacing trim pots with fixed resistors? quote: "Are there certain settings that most people use for these trim pots when building their own Dumble clone amps? If that was the case, then one or both of the trim pots could be replaced with fixed resistors. Also, I think I'd heard that some of the later Dumbles use a panel mounted version of one of those trim pots. What I had in mind was to replace one of the trimmers with a regular pot and use fixed resistors for the other. Any suggestions?"     Steve, the later Dumble-built amps had a "lead channel master volume," which had many names depending upon the amp. This control was a full blown pot, most often called "Ratio" and was the lead master volume. The other control, however, remains a trimmer to this day as far as I know. In the early Dumbles it was a fixed voltage divided, and of course it later becase the 100K trimmer.     Gil
