Trimpot to pot adaptor pcb

[zeropluszero]

Let's say I want to build a tube screamer to run as a boost. I already know I'm never going to change the setting from 0 gain, full volume and maybe I'll tinker with the tone once...im after an adaptor I could buy to mount a trimpot to, to set values and then forget them, and not drill the enclosure for pots at all.

Couldn't you use this? Mount the trimpot to it, then use resistor leads (or similar short wire or leads) to mount it to ther PCB where the pots ould normally go? (Or, if you're not using a PPCB board with board mounted pots, mount the trimpots elsewhere inside the enclosure.)

The Trimit and some header pins should do nicely.
Or just use resistors on the pot lugs

PedalPCB's "Trimmit" should do nicely.

it would be nice to have a 'tidier' option.

IMO, they're tidy enough. The ones in this prototype/testbed photo are all stood-up with a barrier/limiting resistor beneath each.



Did you have something else in mind regarding "tidier"?

I knew when I created these threads that it probably already existed lol. Guess we can close this one.

I have something drawn up a bit closer to what you're looking for.

 

[zeropluszero]

Winner!

That's been on my desktop for two years...

I'll get some in the next restock.

So, Only in this configuration?

I didn't say I knew how you were going to use it. I just said I'd get em fabricated.

Stand em up vertically, it'll fit pretty much anywhere.

This is kind of effectively how I'd use it, and then it would be blank when in the enclosure
