                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[The A versus B describes the taper of the pot.  They both start and stop at the same places (being max tone and min tone), but in between it will sound different.  However, all the same sounds are available, it's just in different places on the knob.  Do you get what I'm saying?  An A pot on 7 = a B pot on 4 (or something along those lines).  One of them will ramp up more quickly than the other one, but they both start and stop at the same sounds.  If you leave your tone pot up all the way all the time, it doesn't matter.  Just play with it.  See if it bothers you.  If there's a certain tone that you can't get because it seems to jump too quickly around the tone you want, then you might want to switch it back, but otherwise, it's not a big deal.<br><br>While composing my reply, racetruck came in.  Yes A = audio, B = linear.<br><br>TZ]]></content:encoded>
