Why does Foreplay have dual mono volume controls?
Well, personally we like to A/B between channels, but that is only part of the reason for dual mono pots. In a kit the price of Foreplay, we are limited in our choice of quality potentiometers. Inexpensive stereo potentiometers are notorious for mistracking at lower settings, so we use separate controls to allow fine adjustment of channel balance. A nice improvement can be heard by installing the Sweet Whispers steeped attenuator upgrade – better resolution, more open sound. These can be constructed in either dual mono or stereo configuration ( which will leave an extra hole in your Foreplay chassis).
