Wait a sec, I'm missing something here. Are we talking about a single-ganged 
pot or a dual-ganged? 
If it's dual-ganged, I already knew this answer. 
If not, what's the one wiper connected to? A summing opamp? A follower? I 
either case, won't you still get some of the the other signal feeding through 
when the knob is turned all the way to one side or the other? 

- Thanks,
Chris
