BYPASSING A GAIN STAGE - QUERY
#14
Hi Noel

Yes, that is a lot of work and good job!

I see you have used 90-degree trimpots for easy access to the adjustment. The only down-side here is the fact these are trimpots rather than panel pots. Trimpots generally have a low life cycle of 200 turns. Whether this will be reached within the life of the amp is a good question, but I always prefer to use panel pots, as in the TUT3 and TUT5 projects. Even the least expensive panel pots have a life expectancy of 15,000 turns.
