Can I run the wire to the cw terminal of the presence pot with tone pot wires?

Really impressed with p2pAmps build on the Doug's Custom Boards post. Mike runs his wires going to the pots across his buss bar. Makes a lot of sense since the buss bar is essentially chassis ground and I remember seeing Fender twist the wires together going to the pots from their board so keeping them together is probably not an issue. Plus it looks amazingly neat.


Only question I have is since the presence pot is a part of the power side of the board should I keep the wire going to the presence pot separated from the tone control pot wires which are preamp related. Not a big deal to keep them isolated but I was curious none the less. Probably easy enough to test if my radial ecaps ever get here.


Thanks
Mike

So far I have not had any issues with running the presence wire on the buss, but thats just me...  I would try both ways and see how it reacts.

To do so seems contrary to the principles of good layout / lead dress.
ie if there’s lots of gain and phase shift between things, keep them separate.
