Nautilus Questions

[Guitar Master]

Just a few questions about the nautilus:

1. Why is the volume a trimpot instead of a regular pot? Any specific reason?

2. Is this ( http://www.smallbearelec.com/servlet/Detail?no=46 ) the mode switch I should use? and what knobs can you use on it?

Thanks

because on envelope filters I guess normally its a set and forget for the output of the effect. you can easily make it a panel mounted control.

that switch should work fine yes but you might find the version with the eyelet holes on the lugs easier to solder, rather than the little pcb mount pins.

What kind of knob should I use for the switch though?

Really any knob you want. Most folks like chicken head knobs for this type of pot.

I agree with Jimilee! Just keep in mind that you may need to sand down the top of the shaft of the switch (it's plastic) since it is a bit longer than the shaft on a typical potentiometer. I had to do this on one build so it didn't look hokey. On another occasion I got lucky and didn't have to. It depends what knob you use really...
