Hi, just starting out.

Well most of the parts i should be able to get cheap or free from my old school.

I am hopefully getting the boards properly etched there too.

The cuircuit i am making has a potentiometer that is 5kB

How do i know if this is lenear or logarithmic?

I am going to make 2 one as a pedal and as a trial run i am going to see if i can put one in the innards of my old squire strat.

Anyone have any tips for this?

I would obviously need to carve out some more wood for it to fit.

I don't use the guitar any more and it doesn't have much value after i have been messing around inside it anyway! So it doesn't matter if i mess up a bit and make it look ugly.
But it would be cool to have one inside.

One space save i thought was to use the 2 tone knobs for the effect as i don't use the tone knobs on the guitar and use my amp instead. It would just mean soldering the tone wires together to put it constantly on max tone i guess.

  The "B" Suffix = linear Taper.
  An "A' [like if it'd say '500kA'] = Audio Taper.

Oh yea does anyone know a good place to get hold of some 3PDT footswitches and some 1/4"Jack socekts in england?

The jacks aren't too bad (switched or non switched?)
But a durable looking footswitch is quite hard to find.

I know about the store here but it is US based
