Download 10K Ohm Potentiometer Switch Wiring Diagram
Background. This potentiometer wiring is very common in audio equipment. I got the fix alright but i wanted to understand how the person calculated to a 10k 5 pin potentiometer for a b50k potentiometer.
The ground is all the way off, terminal 2 is the switch itself, and terminal 3 is the switch turned all the way up.
Sometimes, you can use a pot to overclock a device with a stronger signal. You can experiment with different pots on your guitar: If it helps, think of a potentiometer as a dimmer switch. All power ratings are with the entire resistance element in circuit, so maximum dissipation reduces as the resistance is reduced (assuming series or 'two terminal' rheostat wiring).
