resistor to a pot

Hay then I mod a pedal and put a pot instead of a resistor . Do I have to put lugs 2 and 3 in or 1 and 3 in the holes of the resistor. (I change two of them and in one I'll put resistor in parralel)

Depends what it's controlling mate; do you want the resistor to increase in value as you turn the knob up or decrease in value?

At first pot I want to decrease the value as I turn the knob up and in the second pot to increase the value

That doesn't really help because we don't know what side of the resistor goes to what. So without seeing a schematic where we can advise which side of the resistor holes should wire to which side of the pot, you'll have to experiment with 1 and 2 linked to one side and 3 to the other, and if that's the wrong way then 2 and 3 linked to one side and 1 to the other.

At pot number 1 I want to decrease the value as I turn the knob up and in the pot number 2 to increase the value.
If you can to help as fast as possible cause I am done with the mods until now and I'm excited to finish the wah today (only this two knobs left)

For pot 1 connect the transistor emitter to 1 and 2, lug 3 goes to ground. For pot 2 connect the 470K and 82K junction to 2 and 3, and connect the 10nF and 1K5 junction to 1.
