Step&5:&Add!the!trimpot.!There!are!5!holes!on!the!PCB,!but!your!
trimpot!will!only!have!3!legs.!This!is!to!accommodate!various!styles!
of!trimpots.!Your!trimpot!will!only!orient!in!one!direction.!

After&you&complete&the&build,&you&will&want&to&tweak&the&trimpot&
to&set&the&amount&of&overall&fuzz.&You&will&want&to&bias&the&
collector&(Blue&eyelet)&to&about&4.5v.&You&can&also&bias&with&your&
ear.&
