Title: Sharkfin - Sub Internal Trimpots for Regular, External Pots?
Post by: Jmkrull on May 30, 2014, 03:39:54 PM
Hey,

So, I got the Sharkfin to work on first boot

(Pretty bitchin' as I've tried two Tonepad boards and I could never get them going. If you're thinking about this pedal, the Madbean one is the way to go!)

Anyway, the internal trimmers can do some really cool stuff, to the point where it would be nice to have the ability to change the settings more readily instead of opening up the enclosure every time. Can I just sub out a 100k and 10k Linear pot for the internal Cermet trimmers, or is this not possible?

Thanks,
John

Yes you can do that no problem, just match up your lugs to the corresponding pads on the board.

I agree and this was a mod I wish I would have done. Maybe on the next one.....
