like tom said, there are some components or circuits that trims help to bias/stabilize/etc. for whatever reason or it may be to make a subtle change (maybe not enough to warrant the extra space/cost of a pot+knob+wire)... it just depends on the pedal. it's usually good to at least explain what they are doing in the circuit - that way if people feel the need to mess with them, they'll have an idea of what's happening. ...next pedal i make will NOT have any trims, fwiw.

Oh don't worry, you can keep using trimpots. I understand that it makes life a lot easier with biasing, etc. I just felt like hassling Tom, so if it keeps it fuzzy, use as many as you want. Slap a little EHX sticker on it and Kelly won't mind either.

I will fully confess to being guilty of loving EHX a little bit too much.
