RE: All Access/Ernie Ball Pedal(s) Question

Thanks

I searched the archives and saw both of your names in
the threads, so I guess you've been through this a
bit. Please bear with me.

So it seems the 6166 Mono is a better choice cause the
pots can be replaced without soldering? An insert
cable is a stereo cable no? 

No word from Hans yet, although he states in the
archive that the 6167 is a linear taper, and that
certainly isn't true in mine, all the action is in the
top 3rd of the pedal.
