PT2399 Reverb Circuit -- Switch and Potentiometer Wiring

Wiring these potentiometers (also known as pots for short) is fairly straightforward if you follow this diagram. The delay variable resistor (VR1) requires only two wires, which is simple to implement. The other three pots have one lug that connects to the analogue ground, hence this is simple to implement with a single wire connecting them all in a daisy-chain fashion. Once you have wired the common ground, then it is just two wires per potentiometer.

Potentiometers

I managed to get these cheap pots on eBay and for the most part, they seem to work fine. If you are going to solder the wires directly on their lugs, then keep the heat to minimum. If you cannot find a 20-kΩ potentiometer, then 50-kΩ one works just as well. In the end I used a 50-kΩ pot for the delay control because I needed the shaft lengths to be the same for the enclosure I was going to use.
