Inline pad cooler (cure for hot cymbal)

I am making an inline box to cool down the piezos on my 3-zone cymbal. What would be the proper way to wire it up. I was planning on using two stereo jacks and one or two 100K pots depending on what I needed. Is there a wiring diagram here for hot pad pots?

Would this be it?

I've reduced some of my pads with this wiring:

Thanks Rockdude. I need to know how that would relate to a stereo jack though. I could probably put a pot on both lines, but I don't know if that is the proper way or not for this situation.

Cool! Thanks Dmitri, I thought I had seen that somewhere before. 8-)

I've never built a voltage divider before. Maybe it's even better than a pot. Please post a picture of yours if you decide to build one Jman.
