Trim pot wattage?

Post by Tdale »

What kind of wattage (is that a word?) do I need for the 100K trim pot in the OD entrance?

I got some 0,3W, that are really tiny, and I'm not sure if they'll be enough...

Tommy, the input of the overdrive (which is the output of V1B, after AC coupling) sees a very low signal level such that power dissipation at the trimmer is on the order of a milliwatt. You can sure use the 0.3W trimmer, no problem.
