the pot just says 22k. it is a linear pot. i have fitted a new 22k linear pot but there is no change.
and yes I do have a multimeter.

I have changed the volume pot. the original was a 22k so i have fitted a new 22k. Im just plugging in an ibanez AS73B. it does'nt matter if I plug into the bright or soft jack it is still very loud.

I am very new to this electronic stuff so please be gentle.
my carlsbro scorpion (i think) has got very loud. i cannot turn it up much at all, just off zero and the loudness comes, 1/4 way is pretty loud and 1/2 way is too much. what can cause this? the amp is an old one, i think 70's or 80's it has 2x12 20w celestion speakers. there are no markings on it to say which model or serial number it is. anyone got any ideas?
