technical question about deleting/eliminating potentiometers

[strassercaster]

hello i just built a marshall shredmaster but i modded it to be a visual sound Hyde. i had a couple  issues but now its all good. However i am trying to squeeze this into a 125b and have a battery. Alsotthe hyde doesnt have a bass knob. i want the three tone knobs to be eliminated. for the bass i only have two wires i assume i just. remove the pot and place a resistor value taken from the pot setting ??? in this case. a hyde has a 68k resistor and i checked  the pot at 68k it is perfect.so how do i remove the mid and treble pots . there are three wires. i dont want to short anything. i assume ill have to tie the wiper (middle?) too one of the others and then solder an appropriate resistor between them. i could just expiriment but this has chips and i dont have replacements. so id like to at leasthave some advice . thank you in advance 😄😄😄😄

There is a good chance I'm wrong but it would sound logical to me to:
Find the setting you want
Measure the resistance from lug 1 and 2
Replace with appropriate resistor
Then do the same from lug 2 to 3
I can't imagine this would hurt/ fry anything as they are just tone controls.

This is exactly correct.

Set the pot where you want it, and then carefully remove it from the circuit (without changing where it is set) before you make the measurements - be sure you remember which lug is which.

thank you all very much ill try ot this weekend . i pretty much like the contour on zero the trebel on. zero and the base at 2 oclock which is just like the hyde right around 68k .

For any pot that is wired as a voltage divider (3 terminals), if you want it permanently at max or min, you can replace it with a single resistor of the same value. Just put one side where lug 1 is supposed to go and the other side where lug 3 is supposed to go. Then wire the 'wiper' to one side or the other, depending on the setting you want. You might have to experiment to find the correct side. I don't have the schematic for this circuit, so I can't take a guess.
