Title: How to wire a blend pot for caps?
Post by: thesameage on June 23, 2021, 01:09:11 AM
Hi all,

I'm working on a mudbunny and I'd like to be able to switch between two cap values for flat or bumped mids. I've figured out the values I'd like to use. However, I don't have enough room in the enclosure for a switch. I'd like to use a pot instead as that will fit above the board and I can have a nice 2x2 knob layout.

Can someone tell me if I have the wiring idea down? I believe that I'd wire the input from the board to the center lug of a 100k pot. One leg of each cap would go on lugs 1 and 3. The remaining legs would be joined and the output wire back to the board would come off of this.

Does that sound right?
