Not sure
@thewintersoldier or
@Harry Klippton need any more ammo, but i'm going to lay out my revised design goals for this project.
Disclaimer: Testing may root out useless stuff here and may affirm some of it as well. My desire is not a "Kitchen Sink" for the sake of it type pedal. Initial breadboarding has proved that most, if not all of this is actually useful.
Keep in mind my goal is is as follows:
1.) Save board space by providing fairly intuitive controls for going, convincingly, between a few different types of "Refined" fuzzes (MK II/Supa/1.5/Fuzz Face)
2.) Keep Secondary controls for Bias in a prescribed range
3.) Offer a Si/Ge switch for Q3 (the moneymaker)
Section I: Primary Control Set
The main control set borrows from the Skreddy Trio. I've eliminated the Sharpness/Tightness/Body control in favor of a more standard Blend Control ("Color In") at the Input cap. Range has been reworked. My potato math yielded approximately 12 dB-32 dB boost from Q1 across the sweep of the Range knob. I revised it to provide about 0 dB-20dB. Everything else is pretty standard. Level and Fuzz are no-brainers and the Brite/Brilliance/Presence ("Color Out") control is maintained but with and internal DIP switch for selecting the cap.
Section II: Secondary Control Set
Here's where everyone will set phasers to kill....
This is not completely set in stone yet. It is subject to change because if a control is not useful on the top-side, there is no reason to have it there.
My goal with the secondary control set is for it to function as a way to switch between the basic characteristics of 4 circuits:
1.) Tonebender MK II
2.) Marshall branded Supafuzz
3.) Tonebender MK 1.5
4.) Fuzz Face
Section III: Tertiary Control Set
These are internal and based solely around setting caps in the "Range", "Fuzz" and "Color Out" circuits. These are basically set and forget but also can be tweaked per the goals of Section II.
