I am looking for pots that will sit flat when mounted to a PCB (throughhole) for a guitar pedal. Will these work? Vimex Mini Pots - 6.35mm Solid Shaft (Right-Angle PCB)

I have bought other kinds elsewhere, but the lugs are so short that they cannot connect to the PCB of my guitar pedal circuit without sitting at an angle. The photo seems to show that these will work, but I would like confirmation before buying some. Thanks!

That's what they're designed for, but I suppose it depends on your soldering skill and how messy/bulgy the PCB might be. There are more factors than just the shape of the pot/lugs.
