Re: 1975 JMP Mk2 Treble acts like volume

Man there are some great old Gibson amps that are great exactly because the pots bleed into each other at high volume. The pricey new store down the block, Creamcity, has a 59 Gibson invader that I remember the trem boosting the volume like a preamp. I swear that amp got twice as loud when you turned the reverb and trem up to 10. That fault in design makes the amp worth over $1000, and my buddy is coming in from Cal just to see the thing. A grand is a lot to spend on a little old Gibson with bad wiring. But it's worth five times more than a skylark because pots other than volume add volume, I'm thinking it must be common.
