    Not sure how you can remove the pots. Can you school me on how this set up works? Not being a smart ***, just don't now the tech behind this set up, Thanx.

    So you have no tone or volume controls. How to you change the volume or tone?

    I use the amp for volume , and tone controls , I could add volume , and tone pots , and a kill switch , or a pedal for a kill switch , but I only play at home next to the amp , it sounds so good I have no plans to change it .

    Cool. I figured that. I only play at home as well but I do like to have the controls on my guitars. Do you find you get a "purer" sound without all the extra soldering joints, and controls? So not knowing a lot about electronics, does that mean the guitar is always on "10" and you tune it from the amp? This is one I have never heard of. I guess you learn something every day!
    Thanks.

    Its like its on 11 , the tone pots & caps cut the highs , some people believe the volume pots do it to , all I know is that it sounds really good without the pots .

    Neil Young's "blackie" has a switch that cuts out the pots , not sure if that includes the volume to .
