I think you could do a DPDT ON/ON and do it like this. You could even use a 3PDT and ignore third lugs.

This is a cool looking circuit I like how compact the board ends up. This would probably work well on my HSS Yamaha to even out the single coils and hum positions. Out of curiosity have you experimented with using this circuit as a differential amplifier at all? I’m going down a bit of an...

Thank you all of the suggestions so far. I will look into them especially the ratcheting type which I didn’t look at before. I was able to get some serviceable crimps with what I have but something else I think would do better. There was a lot of good info in here...

I find myself crimping JST and Molex type connectors a fair amount. I recently put together some connectors for my EMG pickups and I’m not really happy with the quality of the crimps I get with these inexpensive import ones...

That thing is a beast. I have the single and it can do some pretty significant distortion. Looking forward to the demo.

IC3 in backwards is my shot in the dark.

I think it could be related to the LDRs possibly. Are they the ones called out in the BOM and did you check them? The specs on them are often pretty wide and them in conjunction with the sustain pot set the gain for the OP amp. Try with the sustain at a lower setting and adjust it to volume...

I think that part might actually be OK and just wired a little different than I am used to seeing. typically the small piece of bare wire only goes to 2 terminals and not 3 but I think it technically works this way also. I unfortunately don't have any info to help you with this particular...

Can you take a clearer picture here? It looks like something might not be right.

I was gifted this board as well as a VFE dragon, and some parts by @tcpoint . It was very generous and I appreciate it thank you. This is my second @szukalski board but it definitely won’t be my last. For anyone not in the know his boards with the eagle files are here...

This was a straight forward build. I feel like it was more sloppy than most of my pedals. I put on-off-on switches instead of the on-ons its calls for, by mistake. There aren’t any good secret sounds in the middle position but it works fine in the up and down positions. I also messed up on...

Does the LED flash when you play hard with it turned up and not flash when you turn it down? Many of the pedals with clipping LEDs I have done you can see when it clips. My guess is it sounds subtle also. I recently built a pedal that pans between 5817 and green LEDs and unless you are...

I 3d print them, they set the height of the switch where I like it and hold the LED in place also. The design is here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6630505 . I usually put a small piece of foil tape between them and the box as sometimes they make a funny connection to ground otherwise.

I have done a few pedals with these controls and I for whatever reason find the colors more intuitive than the labels. White-volume, blue-bass, red-mid, yellow-treble, black-gain. Haven’t figured out the colors that click for everything else yet.

This thing is great. I like the added mid control over the standard Thermionic and the tight pot seems like an improvement over the production pedal. Using this into the clean channel of my Marshall DSL effectively gives me 3 channels, clean, chug style rhythm and high gain lead. It’s easy to...

Very nice clean build. I have been working on the full one for a while now.

I have the production version of the pedal but seldomly use it. Although the pedal has been fine and has lots of sounds, it has side jacks and I find those to be relatively unacceptable. So I built my own proper version. This has a couple mods the bass control is a B500k pot wired as a...

This is my first build since June. We have had a lot going on with moving, my girlfriend stating her new RN career and just life in general. Building pedals feels good and I’m happy to have the opportunity to do so again. I am enjoying this pedal a lot. I’m using it on the dirty channel of...

What I was wondering was if something was wrong with the drive pot or one of the adjacent resistors. That part of the circuit sets up how much gain the IC will have. The higher the resistance the more gain it will have. If there is a bad solder joint or pot in that area it can increase the...

I might check the resistance between legs 1 and 2 on the IC. It should go up and down when you adjust the drive pot between maybe 10k and 500k as a guess.
