If you want you can connect them to lug 2 of each pot but it isn't necessary.<br /><br />In these layouts sometimes we make that connection and sometimes we don't. I tend to follow the schematic exactly and do it as it was shown. But the links are never absolutely necessary.IvIarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416945174853142251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-39910219454868172542014-01-05T11:50:48.047+00:002014-01-05T11:50:48.047+00:00hi!

Can you post a high res front and back pic of the board, and while you're at it, connect another pot from the same batch to a multimeter to check the value and sweep between 1 and 2, and 2 and 3 just to see if there is anything physically wrong with the pots.IvIarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416945174853142251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-2271713893826391352012-12-05T12:14:27.610+00:002012-12-05T12:14:27.610+00:00Have you left Gain 3 unconnected?Have you left Gain 3 unconnected?IvIarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416945174853142251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-10007484050526078682012-12-05T11:29:37.659+00:002012-12-05T11:29:37.659+00:00Hi,
