that is a great enclosure for this board. good point about there not being any common ground or shielding through the case.

such is the tension between art and excellence. : ^ )

 

[Chuck D. Bones]

These are valid concerns and can be mitigated. I breadboarded this circuit to check out and tweak the mods before populating the PCB. It worked fine in the open. In addition to grounding both jacks, I'll solder ground wires to the pot bodies, just like inside a guitar. That should be good enough.

Very cool...!

Well I started mine and about 90% with it. .I didn't double check my order and didn't notice I only ordered 1 A100K pot. Ordered one today and hopefully I will have it by Thursday.

 

[Chuck D. Bones]

The Volume pot is not critical, if you have A50K, that will work just as well.

 

[JetFixxxer]

Don't have a 50k... was going to take one of my 250k and use a resistor, but the pots should be here by Thursday.

 

[Chuck D. Bones]

Use a 250K and don't bother with the parallel resistor. Just make sure it's A-taper.
