for coil splitting, run series wire to one lug and the other lug to ground?
anyone have experience with these pots? they look cleaner to me than your usual stacked terminals tower looking design.

You have it right, Cody. Check out the diagram here:

Much easier to work with than the tiny terminals on most push/pulls if you don’t need DPDT functionality. Good construction too. :tu:

thanks! i'm not quite sure how i missed them on the stewmac site :doh:
they're cheaper on the site too compared to the gibson branded ones at my local shop - like half the price!

time to place an order.

I build super duper sounding super duper. It’s super. Time to duck up the enclosure and swap out them white washers :badteeth:

I realized I soldered the current limiting resistor in the wrong position on the daughter-board :doh:
and try as I may I could not get it back in position from the underside. So my derp derp is front and center for all to see.

i give you daCOD KVLT Serper Derper :party:

Ahhh tight. My first kit was me in a Radio Shack taking a stab at a Super Hard On, and while I certainly did NOT make a Super Hard On, I made something that worked enough to keep going. I'll hit my 1000th pedal at some time end of this year or early next...not sure what to do to celebrate it hahaha.
