I know strapping a resistor across a pot will alter the value but will it also alter the taper?
Also, since the matching of gangs on a multi-gang pot has a variance of 10-20% per gang in some cases, would it be better to use a trimmer to fine tune each gang? Or just use the trimmer to find the value and use the closest matching 1% resistor there is to achieve the goal? (example: 4 Gang 10KA pot needs all 4 gangs to change to a 5KA.)
Double Also, Does the application have any bearing on performance? Say, like in a LP filter?
