Members Brushthrower Posted November 18, 2008 Members Share Posted November 18, 2008 Hey everyone, I just picked up a second-hand EHX Doctor Q envelope pedal. After opening it up and tweaking the trimpot it sounded good. The only problem is, because of the way the board is mounted in the pedal, you have to take it out to access the trip pot. This gave me the idea of replacing the trimpot with an equal value potentiometer and mount it to the enclosure, in essence giving it a "quack knob". Has anyone tried this modification? Does it sound valid in theory? Just thought I'd ask for opinions before I start fiddling. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members normh Posted November 18, 2008 Members Share Posted November 18, 2008 IF the value and roll off are the same yes, it could work. If the board is not multi layer, why not just drill a hole through the board so that you can access the pot without changing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
