Hi

I'm about to build my first stompbox a Mosfet treble Booster.  I've all the parts sourced but i'm unsure what Pot to use as theres different values etc...  I'm a beginner at electronics and still finding my way around also and would appreciate any help you all can give.

BritBoost - welcome to the forum.

post us your schem so's we don't have to guess what it is you are building, and the advice will just pour in. and - make sure your resistors aren't 5W size, and your caps aren't 630V. size matters.
don't make me draw another line.

And check out the DIY FAQ linked at the top of the page.  It has some info about pots that might help you.

Welcome!

Size doesn't matters...how/where you use it matters

To you, buffered bypass sucks tone.
To me, it sucks my balls.

but if the box is too small, it might burst.

Semi-off-topic:
I should probably put some links here, but apparently, there is a "smoking pot" thread in this forum about once a year, and none of them have anything to do with plants.  :icon_lol:
