Well, in the description it says this "Taper: Linear", so I am assuming that they are.
Don't know much about pots, but those are 10k linear.

Those look fine. I kind of want to try them. Conductive plastic element, and cheaper than the typical Alpha pot. Gotta wonder if they're any good.

I'll let you know when I wire them up. And by let you know I mean probably change this thread again to "How the fuck do finish this?"
On a related note, that zvex guy's a dick. $300 for 12 internal components...

Imma put a couple in my next Mouser order. This might be awesome! They look promising...
But with conductive plastic, you need to be extra careful. Avoid soldering to the case (good practice anyways), and try to solder fast. The stuff messes up easier than carbon durring soldering, but it lasts 10 times as long.

there's no solder bridges. and the little cutout on the IC mount is on the right and the words are rightside up on the chip.
wai u no werk snowlflake?
did you flip the ic just for the hell of it?
cause this one looks liek the spot thingie on the ic is the other way around.
the only other hting i can think of is checking that your battery isnt ded.

Have you checked the orientation of all of the caps and diodes, I believe there was a mistake in the build helper thing on the orientation of something.

Yep, they're all in right as per the instruction sheet.
But shouldn't my bypassed signal get through?
