What is the function of the intact pot just by it? Is it a Treble pot or what?
If so, it mut have its value printed or stamped somewhere on its body, please post what you see.

Ur good Perry.....and jm that's low pass filter but there's also two other pots on other side of the input and line out pre-outs and all three have diff values....low pass is b100k then sub sonic filter is b50k and the input level pot is b20k that's why I'm confused was gonna try to find one like one right next to it but if value not the same id hate to solder it on for nothin
Can't get them to answer me back I've been trying for a month now.....guess I'll just go out buy new amp keep this one for parts
In an active tone control there's a high likelihood of the bass and treble pot having identical values to reduce BOM.
That's what I was thinking also but wanted to check around maybe I'll try getting pot with same values if it dont do the job I guess I already planed on getting new amp anyways thanks yall
Sorry but the broken pot between remote control multi pin jack and the intact one is labelled "Bass Boost" on user manual (which you should have linked to from the first question 🙄) 😛
I doubt it has a wild value such as 2 x 1M or 2 x 100 ohm (not impossible though) so I would try a nice "mid range" value such as 2 x B100k there, play some music an listen.
If it boosts Bass as promised, so be it.
If too weak or too exagerated, post results here and we´ll guess another value but chance of initial success is high.
In any case, bass boost is a "seasoning" applied by ear, no complex measurements here, so if it pleases your ear it´s fine.
Much faster than a 1000 page 6 month thread anyway. 😛
And the "wrong" value won´t hurt anything, worst case effect will be weaker than expected or cramped towards one end of the knob rotation.
I assumed that it was broken and you found it inside the amp. If the part wasn't found inside the amp, post a photo of the entire board. Someone may have a diagram with the values. With the values, you can use any pot of the right value as a replacement. It may not fit perfectly but if the amp will have to be replaced, this is an option. You can also replace most any missing pot with resistors. It won't be adjustable, but again, it may be a better option than buying another amp.
