Hi, I am quite interested in building the Boutique "1969" Fuzz Face from the Dragonfly layout but the pots have letters after their value e.g
500K A volume,1K B Fuzz and Contour and 50K B Bias, as a beginner i have built two boards that work so i thought i would give this a try but don't want to get the wrong pots, can anyone enlighten me or can i just use the values shown, thanks Crawf.

Welcome to the forum! :)

The number (i.e. 500K) is the value of the pot as in 500K ohms. The letter is the taper of the pot. A is log and B is linear. If your next question is "What is a taper ?" then fire up the function. Alot of this information has been asked before.
