Have any of you messed with the internal pots on this pedal ? There are two. Just curious if anyone has experimented with them and knows what each one does. I didnt want to mess with it without some more info first.

I have not due to the pedal working so well for me with the stock settings. I thought I'd post now anyway, though, to reiterate and reinforce how much I like this pedal in my rig. How this pedal tames transient spikes and harsh highs relative to other such pedals I've owned which I found myself running compressors before them reminds me of the differences between the clutches on an old Volvo (minute range/unforgiving) and Mazda (smooth range/very forgiving). While you can make both work for you with enough care, why not go the smooth and forgiving route?

Clutches are now a surprisingly effective car theft deterrent!

Bill, tgo

As an owner of two Mazda cars that have been equipped with clutches, because if you have the clutch cable go out you might have to wait 9 months for a new batch to be manufactured in Japan and shipped to the US before you can drive your car again!

Of course, that has nothing to do with the quality of the micro-tron IV vs other autowahs

^ LOL what in the great tarnation is a going on here

Micron... and clutches ? hehe

If you have the newest version they sell different Opto-Mod Modules for different calibrations. The first release mu-fx pedals have jumper that can be moved. https://www.thegearpage.net/board/index ... t-24748206

The internal pots I think adjust the sensitivity of the effect. I may mark it and take a picture and then mess with the pots for shits n giggles. Curious.

I'm wondering whether the unit's not working well enough for your tastes in its default settings or are you just curious what the trim pots do? I ask because I'm an inveterate tinkerer, too, but this is one piece of gear that worked for me perfectly right out of the box.

P.S. Our forum pics are brahs.

More info which alludes to only the right trim pot being adjusted.

This explains what the trim pot does on the first release pedals
