Master volume in individual channel question.

[thalweg]

While having the master volume in each of the channels at 0 and slowly turning it up I get zero volume increase then a sharp initial transient increase at about the 7-8 oclock position. In otherwords its not a smooth volume envelope but a abrupt one. After that, moving up to higher volumes its fine.

Does anyone else experience this? Is it normal?

Thanks

thats normal. i actually have yet to have an amp that doesn't do this to some extent

that is how potentiometers function.

Totally normal.

If you need finer control over the very low volume levels you can get it by using the master output.

Thanks for the quick responses guys. My first all tube amp..so getting accustomed to the nuances.

i had a hard time getting used to this too....it's generally referred to as one of the "sweet spots", or, at least i refer to it as such when talking volume/gain.
