Ok getting things straight before I try the AS8 droop mod. I can either solder a 1.6k ohm resistor, a 2 k ohm trimmer or a 1.8 k ohm and a 22 k ohm resistor in parallel. So my question is. it this series or parallel?

As best as I can tell that would be parallel.

If it were in series the twisted wires Im sure would touch and short circuit which wouldnt be what you wanted.

Those resistors are in parallel - whose pic is that

If you want I can get you the whole thing. Not really sure what it was but it looked neat.

The link to the mod would be cool I like reading about vmod's.

Not fair I can't find the place I got the pic from. This wasn't a vmod tho. It looked like something for an electric guitar.

Yeah def parallel, but it kind of makes it pointless since the wires touch.....it will jus take the path of least resistance

So what would be a better way to run them in parallel?

It really doesnt matter, the idea is that you would have to use different resistors depending of if they were in series or in parrallel.

Parrallel might be easier because you can just tie the wires together like he did and then solder both leads to your solder points and you are all set, so you do 2 solder points instead of 3 with series resistors.

well, parallel would keep the same resistance, while series would double it (if using resisotrs of equal value) so you have to consider more than the solder points. If he shows it like that and it works, i would just go ahead and do it that way.
