hey im just curious how you would go about wiring a mix know? like say a delay, one side is dry the other is full effect. would it just be as easy as wiring each output (the dry and wet) to the outside lugs, then the summed out from the wiper? or is there a better way?

That will work fine.
An example (in a delay) : download/file.php?id=2984 The mix pot is in B2/B3.
I only give negative feedback.

hi,

this sort of thing works well, i built a pulsar tremolo and a linear power booster that run in parallel to each other with a mix pot on the output. it's quite effective, the trem can be brought back so it is not so dominating.

cheers.

Awesome!! Thanks for the info! I appreciate it!! :D also while I'm here! Have you ever herd of a blend circuit where both signals are full in the middle then one fades out as its turned? I've seen it in some more high end bases for pick-up blend. Not sure if it would be desirable in a pedal. Because wouldn't the way talked about earlier kind of cut volume a bit from each signal when it in the center? Or would it not really be that noticeable?
