Just got a trim pot like the one below but it has 3 prongs.
Which 2 do I replace the resistor with and what orientation?
Thanks

Depends on which direction you want the sweep to be, but the top leg that's by itself along with either of the bottom ones.

Ah OK, either bottom plus the top leg.
Just removing the old resistor now, will report back if successful

Mission accomplished
Thanks for the help Jero.
Works great and I've set it for a slight volume boost, sounds so much better using it post fuzz/distortion now, no more sudden volume slump when I kick it on
