    Box 66 switch doesn't seem to change anything

    Oh boy oh boy. I wonder if anyone else who built this pedal has had the switch do something. I tested the swapped out components and they seemed to work. There HAS to be a way to have the switch do something.... Maybe this can be my pedal test project. Call me Dr. Frankenstein mwahahahaha 😈

    Box 66 switch doesn't seem to change anything

    Yeah if this pedal is supposed to switch between the two there is no way the sound is right. Let me see if I can post a sound demo in a few and I'll ping you!

    Box 66 switch doesn't seem to change anything

    Ohh for real? The only reason I decided to spend this much time troubleshooting is because I was basing what I should hear off of the demos the pedal is made off of.

    Box 66 switch doesn't seem to change anything

    Yes I believe so. That is the same test when you're building stripboards and you test to make sure when you put a hole in it the multi-meter doesn't make the BEEP. (yes i know how nooby that sounds lmaoooo)

    Box 66 switch doesn't seem to change anything

    Well I guess technically both... Not sure how to answer this since I don't know what the "default" tone is that I am hearing. I get a killer tone out of this pedal the way it is right now but I don't know if I am hearing the '66 tone or the Super Bee tone. The only thing I know is that when I...

    Box 66 switch doesn't seem to change anything

    Don't apologize! You helped me learn a bit by reading the schematic and understanding a bit more of pedal building! Thank you so much. Also the "piece of crap" mention probably has more to do with my incompetence than any of the components mentioned haha.

    Box 66 switch doesn't seem to change anything

    Alright so I am back with some results and hopefully a bit more help! I opened this piece of crap back open and I replaced the SPDT switch with another one thinking it might have been busted. While I had the pedal gutted I decided to take fig's suggestion and replace C7 with a 22nf capacitor. I...

    Box 66 switch doesn't seem to change anything

    Interesting you say that, when I first flipped the switch I heard a POP noise come from my amp which, in my ignorant opinion, could possibly mean something shorted/busted in the switch. Does that kind of thinking make any sense? I might give that a go anyway that sounds interesting. I have one...

    Box 66 switch doesn't seem to change anything

    Hey everyone, I just finished up building a Box 66 and for some reason the toggle switch doesn't appear to change the tone in any way. I want to say there is a minuscule difference but I almost feel like I'm making that up in my head to try and convince myself I didn't mess up. After watching...

    Simulcast switch seems out of place

    Nope. I soldered the switches and pots onto the board first and foremost. Only drilled the enclosure once everything was populated. I guess i could have bent the legs on all three in some funky manner to get them to fit but you live and learn. I used these pots...

    Simulcast switch seems out of place

    I have actually heard of that before and i made sure to print it out at 100% You know what, I think this is the issue. If i get the pots that move it up just a bit (for all three pots) it should make everything line up perfectly! Thank you!

    Simulcast switch seems out of place

    Hey all, I recently finished one of two Simulcast builds and something seems kind of off. While the build went smooth and everything worked right first time (yay!) I saw another issue of sorts. When I did the build i followed the drilling template and tried to put everything in but it seemed...
