Pot size

[TimothyT]

HI guys, new in this forum, sorry if i've posted this at the wrong section. I've just started building clone pedals so.. yea, i'm still newbie hehe

I noticed there are a few size of pots, so what's the difference with the size of the pot. What kind/size of pots do you guys usually use to build pedals?

Thanks in advance

Hi and welcome (and bravo for choosing the appropriate subforum) !

Sizes don't matter. The smaller these are, the more you can have in a small enclosure.

Sometimes you won't find the required value in the wanted dimension, but you can mostly find anything...

I'd rather use a larger size if the PCB is only hold by the pot legs, but it's just personal...

16mm are the most widely used and so usually cheaper.
