How to connect pots and inputs/outputs

5/30/1999 2:25 PM
Terry	How to connect pots and inputs/outputs I am new to DIY effects and i recently made en Electra Distortion unit, with not too much problems adn i plan on adding some mods to it soon... I am currently working on a swell device off of Justin Philpott's site, but i can't figure out where to connect the pots , in/out puts. I couldn't get all of the right resistors exactly so i put some resistors in series to add up to the amount needed, which i did on my last pedal. Also, does it matter if i use polarized or non polarized caps, the schemtaics says polarized but i used non, is this why hte cicuit is dead? _thanx
