I have a quick question. I'm building an Octavia using the Tone pad layout and want to just make it as simple as possible so can I use trimpots in place of the external pots? Just set it and leave it?
yes.. 8)
Yeah, they are the same thing, one is tiny though.
Yea. That's what I figured. Just wanted to make sure so I didn't finish it and went and messed something up. Thanks guys!
Trimpots can be extremely valuable in case you need a build that should retain a certain degree of tonal options and flexibility - but you want to "nail" a certain perfect setting for a certain amount of time.
You can also use small split-shaf pots mounted inside of your magic-machine for even easier re-tweak of your magic-tone settings if need be.
