Question:

On the bezel free delay, the parts list calls for 1 25k potentiometer (delay time). Is this an A25k pot or is this the B25k pot (linear)?

Same question for the Tremolo. The parts list actually calls for 1 A25k pot but I had gotten B25k pot when I ordered my kit and have since had to replace it so I temporarily borrowed one from a Delay kit that I hadn't built yet which was also a B25k pot.

I know this is confusing but I just placed a mouser order and it arrived but I ordered A25k pots and was going through matching parts to the kits that I had "borrowed" from and then noticed this discrepancy. Can someone confirm for me which 25k pot goes with each kit?

Hope the above makes sense. My tremolo has been kind of funky from the beginning so I'm wondering if it always had the wrong pot (B25k instead of A25k) but I also would like to know if the Delay needs an A25k pot or I should put back the B25k pot that I borrowed from that kit to temporarily fix the trem.

Thanks.

B25k for both, use a 50k for the delay if you want 600ms delay. It will start to break up after 12 oclock.

I installed a 50k pot on mine and got the extra delay time-but yeah it breaks up. Is there any work around for this? I love the delay-just would like it a little cleaner...

Nature of the beast. Chip's got a low sample rate, so long delays will sound bit-crushed.

What about a different chip..?
