Subject: Re: [Simmons Drums] Possible source of pots and knobs for Simmons SDS9 and others

From: Chris Wareham <chris@...>

Cool!

I spoke to someone at Cliff and they suggested ordering the knobs and pots from
Farnell. I'm trying to track down the parts on Farnell's website, as they don't
come up in a manufacturer search. I know the mix level potentiometer is 100K
linear, but would love to know the values of the other pots. Could someone who
has the schematic let me know the values for other level pots as well as the
sensitivity and program value ones?

Cheers,

Chris
