Dirtbag Delay Pot

[shawnee]

Quick question: I know that the 100KB delay pot should be as close to 100K as possible to get the max delay time from the Dirtbag. Is there a problem with going over 100K a little? I have about a dozen 100KB's and several are 104K.  I even have one that is 110K. Any reason not to use the 110KB pot if it will increase the delay time?

Longer repeats will be lower quality and may introduce whine in to the signal, that's why.

Don't forget the other parts that'll affect around that are too (the limiting resistor and cap value).

But there's nothing to stop you experimenting.

Ahhh OK. Dang it, there's always a trade off isn't there. I have a 101KB or a 104KB that I can use. Thanks!

104k will be fine, most pots have like 10% to 20% tolerance anyway, ie you'll rarely find pots that are "exactly" 100k, most will be a little more or a little less.

Thank you!
