Potentiometers I've used only have three pins, I used a 10k to make a pedal and it only cost pence from the local electronics shop.

thats the problem...most are 3 pin but guess what? Ive just been on ebay and found one for £3.49 at long last. A good wee welder been going to waste for the sake of a few quid knob. Now I will find out how bad my soldering is...been a long time

Are they twin pots, like stereo ones or some other configuration, such as a changeover switch?

It would be interesting to find out.
