Can anyone take a guess what I’ve been up to the last 2 hours?

Doing pot?

It's like my life: trying to put together something from things that don't fit.

So my CH Pro Pedals have been acting up for a while. I thought it was IL-2 but it was the pedals themselves as they are getting long in the tooth, and getting old. I ordered 9 new pots as I had read that they aren’t made anymore for future repairs, and replaced the 3 pots in it. Only to find out the control arm in the pedals are longer than the ones I just ordered. So I had it disassemble the dang things and use just the control arm portion of the old pots and pair them up with the positional circuit board, and housing portion of the new one so they’d fit, and work! All to save a couple hundred bucks. Thank god they worked after reassembly. My day could have been a lot worse!
