Hi everyone!
I'm thinking if any one has an idea where to get these really small potentiometers. For example like some of Z.Vex pedals use
may be those are just trimpots with handles?
The smallest "regular" pots are:

If you are *really* out of space:

but they almost can't be turned by hand.
Thanks for reply!
Well I'm aware of alpha's 9mm production
I've used them in some of my designs, but still - it is hard to stuff more than five of them in a row in a box like my first post shows. And they are quite expensive as well. I think I'm gonna go with trim pots as they ar not directly in audio path for my project. Other option would be to use one pot, rotatory switch and a uC to control it all, but that's too complicated to operate for user.
