Hi all, I have just finished soldering the components to the board of my first build and I am ready to test the circuit. However, this board has 2 switches (distortion and boost) so 2 input and 2 output wires. This might be a stupid question, but do I just connect both inputs to each other to the jack and both outputs together with the jack for the purpose of testing?

Thanks heaps, I'll try small bear, I wasn't able to get it happening properly on my phone so I think I gave up. Will try a PC. Yes, definitely a 20k pot, haven't been able to find one, will just use a 25k, no Biggie. Thanks again for everyone's help.

Thanks for the info. I have a kokbox, krankosaurus and firebomb that I was planning to build. These were actually purchased over 10 years ago, and I started collecting components back then, but most of what I got was wrong. Long story short I ran into financial trouble and had to sell all my gear. I found these in the garage the other day and thought I had better give them a go.
Does anybody have any suggestions as to where I can find 9mm 5kc pots? Tayda was no good, I have trouble with mouser and digikey, blms didn't have them either. I'm after the ones that allow the PCB to sit vertically in the enclosure, not the right angled ones.

Hi,
Probably a really stupid question, but I'm really new to this. I'm sourcing components for my first few builds and I'm having trouble finding 9mm PCB mount pots in 5kc.
Of I can't find them, how would it affect the circuit of I were to use 10kc pots instead, or would it be less destructive to just use 5kb pots, which I think I have seen around. Also had trouble finding 20ka and 25ka in the 9mm alpha pots.
Another component question too, would a 2.2nf cap in place of a 2nf cap be very destructive, I haven't looked at the schem yet to see where it is in the circuit.
Cheers.
