Um... Yeah... So... That was totally the issue... I think I'm gonna just let it be with that 50k knob...although... Seems louder than it should be... I just don't wanna mess with it anymore... I'm ordering the Same one but from fuzz dog this time. Lol. I learned so much here and now have a working pedal that sounds like a cranker covered in cigarette burns and bedbugs... I'm stoked!
