I picked up a pot at Raduio Shack. I would imagine this does have to be used with the resistors, correct? You can't just use the pot alone, can you? I know I'm full of questions, but that's how I learn. My idea was to mount it all in one of their "project enclosures" (metal not plastic). Soon I hope to build a Lead 12 pre amp and mate it with a 50-100 watt power section. *baby steps* lol
