The volume sponge is an alternate to the power sponge. The diagram is by GRE2608. I do not believe the actual power sponge is possible with out replacing the power board. The pedal pot can be placed beside the volume pot.

Yeah, but would this make my Sanpera voume stop working? And why can't I do the first mod from GRE2608, where he uses the red wire instead of the black for the "VOLUME SPONGE" mod?

Thans anyway!

The mod will not affect the operation ofc your Sanpera. As for the mods; Use the red wire instead of the black. I got both charts from this form but I sent the wrong one. I remember one made the pot rotate backwards.

Great, thank you. Did you use a log pot or a linear pot?

Both will work, but I would use linear.
