I dont know what you mean by "wah" trimpots, but a trimpot is the same as a normal pot, just not intended for panel mounting/being changed often.  If you want to use it in replacement of a 2 lead resistor, just solder the wiper lead (middle usually) to one of the other leads and use it as though they're one of the leads and the remaining lead is the other.

Hi
Just think of them as standard linear pots, just smaller. See pic,


Hope that helps

not sure if this helps... it's from aron's "simple mods/tips" page.  i think the same applies to what you're talking about.
