Great info Chuck. Thanks again!

Well, I figured out why I was getting so much squealing. The wires going to the input / output tips to switch were touching the pot legs. Even though they have a standard insulation jacket, it was causing interference. Once I moved the wires all the squealing stoped. Thanks for the input Chuck...

As for my issue, I have checked all of the values for each resistor, cap, etc. and all seem ok. The high pitch squeals happens even when the guitar is not plugged in. Even if I run a long 20ft cable and stand as far as I can from the amp it still squeals very loudly. The presence and treble...

Thanks a lot for clarifying on the LED's. The squealing however doesn't seem like normal feedback. It seems to be an issue with the pedal. I have a DS-1 and a hoof which don't do that at all with the same guitar. I either have to roll the tone control back, or the knobs on the pedal itself. I...
