Another Lowtide Question

​

Hey everyone, I’ve got all the ICs for this build, but I’m missing an A1M dual gang pot. I’ve got plenty of B1Ms — can I use one instead, or will that mess things up?

@Guardians of the analog not sure why this is funny, just asking a question?

The Slew will increase a whole lot faster and will be hard to fine tune. I would get a Log taper instead.

I think I have a few C1M DG laying around, I could use one of those instead. I just saw in the forums where another had used the B1M in place.

Can anyone else hear the meme generator Temu ads?
No?
Just me?
Now, off to Spirit Halloween for some inspiration for my next enclosure design.
Oh, just use the pot. If it's all you got, it's all you got. Can always cut it out and swap it later. Or just put a big knob on it to make it easier to dial in.
I would suggest the resistor to wiper trick but there's no schematic to verify it's legitimacy.

the questions about Low Tide builds are so plentiful that it’s almost become a meme. My own questions included. Surprised someone hasn’t actually made one yet though. Or have they? Don’t let it stop you from asking questions if you don’t see it in a previous thread but a chuckle is par for the course when it comes to the Low tide.

As for the pot. You could probably use the B taper and it would be sorta ok. It’ll work but might not feel the best for dialing in sounds. With this pedal I’d personally just use the taper listed in the schematic. Stompbox Parts should have that pot.
