Can trimmer pots be used as subs for regular pots?  If a trim pot is marked 103 is it 100k?
It's people like us who contribute to dead fx pedals selling on eBay for what they'd cost new!

I don't know the answer to the first question, but a trimmer marked 103 would be 10k in value and not 100k.
Build a better fuzz face and the world will beat a path to your door.

As long as your not pusing the wattage, and in most cases with 9v powered effects your not, then you can replace pots with trimmers.

The marking 103 means the pot is 10K. 10 x 3 = 10K
