Reducing number of switches and/or Pots

Post by sdp1234 »

I'm looking at a Dlite type build but I don't have enough space for all the pots and switches. If you had room for 2 switches and 7 pots what would you eliminate and still keep as much flexibility as possible?

Thanks

You could run the PAB and midboost exclusively by footswitch and eliminate them from the front panel.

I'd have the bright and mid boost switches and slip the presence control. JMO

Got room on the back for controls you rarely mess with?

Got vertical room for a second row of controls on the front?

Hope this helps!
