I'm looking at the schematic for the FuzzRite, and i see the pots are listed as 350K and 33K. There's a note that indicates "500k + 1.2m, 50k + 100k". Could someone please explain what this means, so I can order the proper components? Thanks!

350k and 33k are not standard pot values these days, so the schematic is suggesting you get a 500k pot and put a 1.2M resistor across the outside lugs to bring the resistance down to ~350k. Same with the 50k pot & 100k resistor.

Outside lugs, meaning 1 and 3? Got it. Thanks!

i cleared up the schematic...i made those notes for myself a while ago
always think outside the box
