Two pedals, one volume?

[asfastasdark]

Simply, if I take two very similar effects and put them in one enclosure, and say they both have a 500K volume pot at the very end, could I just pop the two right after each other in series without volume controls, and add a master volume of 1M at the very end after both of the effects, or would I need another value? Was wondering this because I was thinking about putting a mojo Ge FF and a modern Si FF in one enclosure.

why not just use a dual gang 500k pot
just wire both outputs together to the output jack or switch or whatever

We are only talking about 4 knobs total here anyway right?
Just use a volume for each circuit.
You will want to adjust the volumes separately anyway.

If your plan is to be able to run them in series together, understand that having one common volume pot will not guarantee constancy or predictability of volume level if you decide to add the second or disable the second of the two circuits.

As well, consider that by setting the drive AND volume of one feeding the other you have finer control of the way one will overdrive the other.

Any way you look at it, two volume pots improves things.

OK thanks, if/when I ever build this I will just use seperate volumes then, possibly a volume at the very beginning too, but right now I'm building a RAT, so that will come later  .
