I started build the flanger but when it gets to installing 9mm pots they won't all fit when correctly oriented.  Either the type of pot I've been using for years are too big or is the board incorrect?




As one cans see these type of 9mm pots, when correctly oriented per pin 1, will interfere with each other and the switched.
Thanks

Have you got a link to the build guide?

Where does it say that it uses board-mounted pots?

Good point.  It has holes to connect the pots which match a 9mm exactly to I made an assumption.  I'll just use 16mm ones and wire them which is a pia.  The build doc only specifies the values and not the size. 
Thanks

Pots are on wires.

Those wire are very long, maybe should be shorter?

The is just no really easy way to wire in pots.  Guitarpcb used to sell boards this way and I stopped buying them for that reason.

There's no REALLY easy way, but it's really not that HARD...   :icon_cool:
