Just checked...no internal trim.
Did you ever check out the EQD Westwood??

Not 'In person'. Looks like a good pedal , and quite versatile.
I like the layout of the Barbershop a lot though( and that there is no tone control as such).
Besides that, fact that it is so responsive to touch is something I like.
Given a chance to, I would however totally try out the Westwood, just for kicks.

I'd love to give the Westwood a try. What are your BS settings? What effect are you getting?

At the moment I am at
Drive:around 10
Sag: 1
Volume : Unity
Toggle : middle or to the right

I get a nice 'organic' and not annoying break up at these settings. Running a passive single coil P bass into it.( this is what you mean when you ask 'What effect are you getting?'. Right?)

Just received my Barbershop today and noticed the presence of internal trimpots.
After research, I've found an Instagram post regarding the Barbershop PCB update with the mention : ""adjusting nothing" applies to all of our pedals trimpots's""

I think this is better to leave these trims alone.

Is someone know the exact purpose of each of these trimpots ?

Well, at least two of the trim pots are marked... one is "sag" and the other is "bias." I also see some test points (TP1, TP2, and TP3) that are probably bias test points. I would measure the DC voltage between ground and the test points, I suspect it's on the collector terminal of the transistors, where the bias point is set.
