Lead Solder Overdrive treble/bass seems to have no effect

[Nix]

Is it something I did or is just the way the board works? Mids work fine but bass and treble don't seem to be working. Deep switch works great.

The treble was the only lug pot, the rest are pcb mount. It was making contact with the toggle switch. A little black tape fixed that but I'm still stuck on why the bass isn't working.

Post some pics of both sides of the board. This is pretty much a Marshall tone stack, so no voltage readings are necessary here. You probably have a bad solder joint or C14 might not be the correct value.

Thanks! I'll check that out. It was a kit from Musikding so it's more likely a bad solder joint. The bass pot measures at 500k for some reason but it is a 1M.

There is some parallel resistance when in circuit. I'm assuming you measured it in circuit.
