P3 on the back of the PCB but you are free to use more traditional solder lug chassis potentiometers Rectangular pad on the PCB marks pin3 and that corresponds with this numbering of the solder lugs VR1 is arranged as onboard trimpot on the PCB This is done because for most people it is set and forget However you could choose to make it external by wiring a chassis pot For this I added the pinout...
