    Default Vox V-847 wah help

    I need to install a new pot in my wah pedal, but I seem to have lost track of which wire went where. There's 2 blue wires (they go together), a yellow, and a black. Could someone post a pic or something of the wire connections to the pot in his/her Vox V-847 if you have one?

    Blue is closest to the on/off switch. Yellow is in the middle lug and black is the lug closest to the PCB.

    Thanks for the quick replies (this forum rules!)

    Spud,
    Is the pot rotated such that the connectors are up (close to the cover plate) or down (further from the plate)?

    And Kazz, that picture would still be appreciated.

    Big thanks to all of you. I got it installed and it sounds fine now. The old pot was scratchy when it moved. I e-mailed Vox and they pointed me to their web site to one for $42.

    I opted for $13 on eBay...
