>>>>>The only differences between it and the regular neck volume are a) it doesn;t cut out 100% of the volume b) it's cool looking c) it works in reverse d) it confuses a lot of people.
And lets not forget that it's handy to be able to control things with one turn. But "B" and "D" are by far the most important feachures of the knob.
As for me, I find that I'm usually leaving this knob most of the way toward the neck position and when I want to get trebbly I do that with the real control knobs. Having the control knobs trebbly and this blender knob toward the neck pup sets up competing forces which is a good thing.
Having the blender at the neck and the control knobs toward trebble is just too icy bright and causes my brain to freeze.
Once you get the hang of the relationship between the blender and your base/treb knobs I think you'll find that it's less "redundant" and more of a luxury feature. But even having said that I find that I dont ever move it more than about 25% of it's range.
Yea, it's real value is in the cool/confusing aspect. |
