Easy Vibe 1K trim pot...15 turn, 22 turn, 25 turn, multi-turn???

[skiraly017]

I'm trying to find a 1k trim pot for the Easy Vibe, but Mouser has all these different "turn" values.

A) What's a "turn"?
B) Why the different amounts of turn?
C) Which one would be best for the Easy Vibe?

Thanks.

What do you do to knobs? You turn them.

The pot you know and love has one turn.

Multi turn pots take more than one turn to go from their lowest value to their highest value. This is so that whatever setting you choose is more precise.

A)A Turn is one complete rotation.

B) Pots used normally have a bit less than one turn. Different amounts of turn give more/less precision.

C)I don't know, sry

bye bye, hope it helps

that trim pot is a trim pot, in the actual sense of the word (as in, it is set and forget, and inside the effect).  When I  made my EV, I used a very small 1 turn PCB-mount pot, the same kind I use for breadboarding.  Its function is to set the range of the LED's in the filter sections, allowing them to go from pretty much off to their brightest.   Depending on what LEDs and OA's you're using, you could wind up with a mostly-on situation, where they don't sweep properly.  So you adjust them...depth pot set a little back from full, and adjust the trimmer for a good sweep & sound.  Then button up the enclosure and you're in business...

Mulit-turn trimmers offer finer adjustment, but for this application would I think be overkill and a little frustrating    So get the 1 turn
