RE: Poll: agree or disagree - "You can't replace a volume pot with a single resistor."

As Al correctly explained below it depends on how the pot was being used in this particular case. Some circuits only use two terminals of the pot and others use three. Whether the pot bypass would require one or two resistors to pull off and retain the type of performance intended by the manufacturer depends greatly on which it is.

Can you post a schematic of the original circuit and what the modifications are? Without that we are all flying blind.
