Adding a volume control

Dougbailey Posted 2013-09-17 3:53 PM (#475066) Subject: Adding a volume control Joined: September 2013 Posts: 3 Greetings. I am still looking for recommendations ... I have an old Balladeer 1112, it has a piezo under saddle wired directly to the output jack. (No preamp). Can I add a volume control to this... If so, what control would work and what wiring schematic do I need!

I soldered a potentiometer in line to a guitar cable. It works, and without having to drill a hole for the vol control into the bowl of the Balladeer. The I noticed Taylor sells one ($60) on M F. A little price, but same effect.

Glad you figured out your solution.
