Hey guys!
I suspect I have a bad drive pot in the Red Llama I built.
Using the multimeter, I get a resistance reading on the Volume pot between lugs 1 and 3, and 1 and 2. For the Drive pot, I get a reading between 1 and 3, but get a reading of zero between 1 and 2.
Is this a valid way of diagnosing if a pot is bad?
Depends on the setting of the pot. If it's turned counter clockwise, there is no resistance between 1 and 2, if it is turned clockwise, there is no resistance between 2 and 3
If there is no resistance between 1 and 2 regardless of the setting, then the pot is broken
