I will try that - thank you!

When I toggle on the distortion it sounds great but it's much louder that the regular setting. What would be the best way to attenuate only the distortion setting?

Thanks for the reply!

A friend wants me to make one of these boards to put inside his violin. He wants the LPF to be fixed. We found a setting he liked and I measured the following values: Between terminal 3 and 2 of the top row = .2R Between terminal 2 and 1 of the top row = 19.43k Between terminal 3 and 2 of the...

Oh, I'll try that as well. Thanks!

I'll give that layout a shot and I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks everyone for the replies! I'm still curious - does anyone know how the guy got the one in the video to work so well? Here is another vid with the same setup. He even had to lower the pot value from 10K to 1k. What am is...

They are on lugs 1 and 2 like the diagram and video.

I tried to make one of these but it doesn't work at all. I'm not sure if I need another pair of eyes or if this is a hoax. It seems with a 5k pot this would only go from being the full 9v to 5k of resistance. On my voltmeter that only ends up being .01v difference which is essentially no...

Thanks for the reply! I thought there might be a way that would include the mounted switch. I ended up going the 3PDT route - it worked (and fit) as well. Pics below. Quick question: why is the volume pot wired backwards in the above diagram? Is that how the original was wired?

Ahh... the good ole days of sparks flying between your lips and the microphone while playing guitar ! In my day we didn't need no stinkin pyrotechnics.

I'm making a Fuzzrite from an Amplified Parts eyelet board but want to house it in a regular enclosure. What would be my best approach for adding an LED indicator light so I know when it's on?

That link takes you to a switch that is ON - (OFF). Isn't this the one we're looking for: ON-ON? It's less expensive as well: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/633-M2012TNW01-DC

Thanks for all the tips. I will check everything that's been suggested.

So I finally had a chance to check out everything suggested - zero voltage on pin 7 and no audio on pin 6 or 9 of the HT8950. Nothing on any pin for that matter. Should I get out my solder sucker and recite the mantra "I will never install another IC without a socket" 100 times or is there...

The LED does light up when engaged. I will check the measurements on those pins. Thanks for the help!
