Title: Silver fox trim pots
Post by: tagwap on November 27, 2011, 10:39:23 AM
I'd like to wire up the 3 trim pots as external pots. I've ordered the same values in linear alpha pots but how do I wire them? Which lugs go to which holes that were for the trim pots?

Many thanks to those in the know!

On the build docs it has numbers on the trim pot.  The one goes to lug one on your pot.  The 3 goes to lug 3 and the unnumbered spot on the trim is lug 2.

It seems like mine are always backwards. I pretty much can only put them in one way since the middle pin is offset. It just means that you will have to turn it counterclockwise instead of clockwise to get to the set point you desire. Since it's just a trimpot inside the pedal, I don't care which way I have to turn it. If it's a pot on the outside, I make sure that they are wired correctly.
