Greetings
Im somewhat puzzled over the wiring for these. Mainly there are two rows of 3 lugs at the front of the controls and yet it appears that the 3 closest to the chassis arent used at all. Is this a correct observation (drawn from the layout pics, and snowys build)? If so, do they have nothing to do with the push and pull movement? could they actually be soldered together with no effect?

You can solder them together, that's actually better as you are using two gangs so you got redundancy. If one "pot" fails you still got the other.

So use either set of lugs or use both.

Please excuse my ignorance on this..... wouldn't soldering these two rows together change the resistance of the pot from 500 to 250? essentially two pots in parallel?

Hi John,

I just used the one row that was most convenient/closest as you have noted. I just figure the less things you have to solder together the less potential problems.

Yes sorry forgot to mention that.

Orange amp uses the doubling up trick on their amps but they double the value of the pot.

OK...Thanks guys
Will go with just using the one row of lugs...feeling confident enough to move onward again
