My Tiger's middle tone pot seems to have lost range. I turn it about 90% and nothing happens then in the last 10% it quickly goes from bright to dark in a 1/4 turn. I don't mess with tone much unless I'm playing really loud. Any other guitar I would just swap it out with a new pot but I don't really want to mess with a Tiger. It's a quality PEC RV4N 500k pot but I'm sure they go bad too. Or could it be wiring? Odds are I think the wafer disk might be warped and only the last bit of it makes actual contact. Any ideas?

I'm not sure of the taper for your pot... but it sounds like a typical linear taper function... sorry to be addressing this, it may well be a dumb question, but are you sure it has changed?

Milo is spot on. Without messing with the high freqs, the Tiger/Buffer setup does not have a tradtional linear sweep. Most of the roll of is in the last 5-10% of the range.

The reasons and pros & cons are covered & debated in depth in other threads. Some of the expert board searchers can chime in.

You can drop a larger value cap in place of the 022 and change the dynamic...but it would be a non-Jerry mod.
