It seems much ignored in comments about the amp. Anyone any comments about the sound and what effect the trimmer pot has, I'm thinking of moving the trimmer pot (aswell as the O'D trimmer) to the back panel.

Thanks guys

I do use the FET input when playing my acoustic guitar.  I think the tone is rather similar compared with the normal input.  I adjusted the trim pot so that there is not much volume difference between my acoustic in the FET and an electric in the the normal input.  I suppose there would be some benefit in moving this trim pot (and the OD trimmer) to the rear panel.  If you use the FET input for different low output pickups, you could easily adjust it to match an electric in the normal channel.  Regarding the OD trimmer,  I find that the front overdrive controls (level and ratio) enable a wide range of overdrive, so I don't have a need to adjust the OD trimpot.

For me, the trimmers inside are the appropriate place.

You've got me thinking a little bit.  Maybe some day I'll move my trimmers to the back also.  I do wonder if the resistance of a potentiometer will be different than the trimmer and thus alter the tone.  Can the trimmer itself be mounted on the chassis back?

Nik just posted a clip on the ceriatone website (sound clips) of my acoustic guitar into the FET channel.  Check it out.

Thanks,  it's a Sunrise pickup that mounts in the sound hole.  So it's not piezo, it's magnetic.  I have a few other guitars with piezo pickups that also sound great in this amp.  The amp's EQ and presence controls accommodate a good variety of pickups in my opinion.  The Sunrise pickup can be used with or without a preamp.  I do not use a preamp and this is where the FET input is nice.  (Website: Sunrisepickups.com).

Thanks.
