can i just confirm -

if the diagram is as so (please excuse the crudness, the dots are just so the script would allow for empty spaces) -

. !
. !
. 1 -
. ! !
. ! !<-! 2
. ! ! !
. 3 - !
. ! !
. ! !
.----------------

and we can assume its clockwise as its a control on a pedal, and the pins are 1 - 3, l-r viewing from the knob end (excuse the term) then would i connect 2 and 3 together (as the arrow comes back from where point 3 goes) and connect 1 and 3 to the other components in the diagram?

Also, i'm guessing from the thing about pot bases being used for a loop, they're not actually connected to the resistive part of the pot and are only a metal shell. Is this right?

Greatly appreciate the help :)

(edit. I cant seem to get the spaces to work in the little drawing so please use your imagination :( )
