This Week on the Breadboard: Windmill (WIIO) cb mod

I took a while, as usual, but here's my incarnation.
Huge sound, yes I can smell the Hiwatt glowing. Another fab Boneyard version. Thanks so much, Sir Chuck!
Rawk.

That feedback switch is really useful. I quite like the lower gain feedback setting, a bit more refined somehow. And still raw enough.
 
With the Feedback enabled, the distortion and gain are lower (unless GAIN is dimed), but the effect of the Tone controls is reduced as well.
 
Pardon the extremely stupid question, but I can't puzzle it out from the breadboard and my mind is a void at the moment when it comes to potentiometers.

Regarding the 10K trimpot between R101 and R102, do we lift the facing component leads of R101 and 102 to connect to pins 1 and 3 of the 10K trimpot and connect pin 2 of the trimpot to pan to the positive side of C101 for VREF?

Or do we leave everything in the board, connect R102 to pin 1, pin 2 gets attached to pin 1, and then pin 3 to R101 as more of a summing operation of resistance for something to do with VCC, since that is where the biasing is happening? (I'm guessing this one).
