Pedal test box, modular pot solution?

Hey y'all

Just went ahead and built a test box from my first attempt at the fuzz face enclosure. I was wondering if there was an easier way to connect pots to the board in this configuration rather than having to solder and desolder the wires straight to the pot. also, not a fan of wiring up a ton of alligator clips to the end of the leads but if that's how it is it's how it is.

this is the video I'm following, any suggestions welcome.

Thanks everybody,
 
Here's what I use, works better than alligator-clips for me:

The female-leads just slide on and off the pot-legs easy-peasy. Pic from this thread.

Then wire up a stereo-speaker block to your test pedal and you can quickly clamp/unclamp the pin-leads.

Alligator-clips are still useful to me. I solder up some alligator clips with pins to hook up the board so I can rock it before I box it.
As below (& more tips from this helpful thread):

Hmm I should fire up the solder-station to make some female-to-alligatorclip wires, too...
