Pot Wiring Questions
So, after much reading and researching and the such, I've decided I want to build a MXR Distortion+ to cop the Bob Mould sound. Specifically, the two D+'s set to the same gain and volume sound. My thought was to have the same circuit twice with the one set of knobs controlling both, simultaneously. Is this really as simple as I suspect? Can I just have two outputs wired from each pot? Is there some other magic involved?

Re: Pot Wiring Questions
You'll want dual ganged (stereo) pots so that both circuits are not sharing the pots. If you tie them together on normal single ganged pots the circuits will likely load each other down and/or interact in ways that will result in unwanted noise or no sound at all.
