Hello, I recently got a Bong 4 HH , but I am plagued by noise problem.
The noise problem is occurred only while controlling the balance pot. When the pot is not being turned, there is no problem.
I tired to replace the pot to new 2 times but the sam problem happened again. and also tried capacitors replacement but it didn't help it too.
I don't understand all the circuitry in Bongo's preamp, but that noise is often generated when the pot is moved around the midpoint of the pot. So I am assuming that the audio signal is overloaded and generating noise??
My Bongo originally used a B50k Balance pot, but I wonder if it is the same for others. I would like some information from others!
