A little help with pots pls.

Post by stoo »

I'm looking at Norms D'Lite and I see the pots listed as XXXKA and XXXKB I assume ones linear and one's log but which is which?
Also is their a BOM for this project somewheres?
Thanks a bunch guys

A is log
B is linear

I think Normster published a draft BOM a while ago, with part numbers and all,
though not complete. IMO, your best bet is to create one of your own. That
way you can ensure you're ordering everything you need plus it gives you
a chance to go more thoroughly through the circuit and check your values.
Remember to order tweak values both to adjust voltages and to tweak
tone shape (i.e. treble, mid & bass cap, PI input cap, preamp cathode
bypass caps, etc)

Best of luck.

Yup, KA is audio, KB is log.

Here's the BOM that I worked up for Moss to estimate the cost of kits. It's pretty close but hasn't been verified against the build yet. Also, some of the costs are estimates at this point but shouldn't vary by more than a few dollars either way. If you order 1W Xicon resistors from Mouser the minimum order quantity is 10 so add about $25 to cover the additional quantity.

The Lite can also be built using a Bud aluminum chassis and Weber Deluxe Reverb or Vibrolux iron.
