| What happened to your pot in your OD-1? |

Different sources call for different types of pots (log or linear) but all of them say it�s a 1M ohm pot.
I measured the pot in my OD-1 and it�s a lin pot |

| Lightburst is correct. According to the schematic the level pot is 10kOhm logaritmic while the drive pot is 1MOhm linear. |

| Do you have a lot of schematics? |

Thanks all of you, got the info I needed
I took the pedal apart because I broke the Overdrive pot. But somehow the pot got lost
And I forgot its value. No I can get this grate pedal to work again.

No, only a couple that I downloaded off the web. Right now I'm tempted to call Roland and order the CE-5 schematic just because I want to know the exact changes between the CE-5 and CE-5A. |

| I still think that it is ridiculous to make that radical of a change to a pedal and not make it a new model number. |

FYI, if all three lugs of the potentiometer are soldered to something (including itself) then remove the wire from on of the outside lugs. Measure the resistance between the two outside lugs to determine the total resistance. Turn the potentiometer to the middle and mesure the reistance between the free lug and the middle lug. If it is about half of the total value then the potentiometer is most likely linear (they have some custom taper pots out there right now that may defy this). If it is anything else then the potentiometer is of a different taper.
Oh yeah, and in case you didn't know, 1 megaohm (1 Mohm) is 1,000 kiloohms (1,000 kohm). |

True, calling it CE-6 would probably have boosted sales as well. |
