Hi all!!!
I have a question in regards to the 59/09 pickups in my Custom 24. I have noticed that when doing volume swells (in any pickup position) that the volume kinda jumps in at about half-way between 2 and 3. Raising the volume from there seems to work as it should, with a smooth graduation in volume level....it's just that early stage of the engaging of the volume pot in which I get a volume jump from zero to about 2-1/2.
I have a Custom 22 with Dragon II's and don't experience this issue at all. It has a very smooth, gradual volume increase all the way from 0-10 when turning the volume knob.
My question is, has anybody else experienced this with the 59/09's?
A couple notes about what I'm experiencing:
1) I have had the pots replaced in both the Custom 22 and Custom 24. Same brand by the same tech. Before the replacement of the pots, I cannot recall if I had the same issue - either I wasn't really using volume swells or wasn't really paying attention to the volume jump.
2) I have cleaned the pots.
3) I have also experienced the same issue using a volume pedal (albeit a fairly in-expensive volume pedal). With the volume pot on the guitar at 10 and a gradual expression from the volume pedal, the volume seems to jump in at the same audible volume level.
4) I have experienced the issue on two tube amps. A 60W Blackstar and a 1W Marshall practice amp.
Of course, after cleaning the pots thoroughly, my next step would be to maybe try new pots, but I was just curious if anybody else has experienced this with the 59/09's or any other pickup and what you found to be the solution.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!
