Potentiometer orientation ?

[copperhead]

I'm have a build on process & I'm not sure about the orientation of the 90 degree pcb mount pots . should the lugs of the pot be facing up or down towards the footswitch end ?

The square solder pad on the PCB is (usually? Always?) pin 1 of the pot. So if you are holding the PCB the right way up to read the writing the pots generally point up away from the pins.

This page is a bit of a mess and incomplete, but there are a couple pics of proper potentiometer orientation.
