    Is there a way to fix the muddiness of this pedal? I've checked the circuit around the 2n5089 transistor. All my values are correct. J201 is also dialed-in on the Tight side but when I switch to Big, everything is just too muddy. Is there too much bass going into this circuit? transistor...

    1/4” knobs not fitting 1/4” pot shafts

    I have ordered several hundreds of various knobs styles from tayda and never had this problem. My last order was March so... Covid19 might have shrunk them. Send them an email. So they can check with their suppliers.

    Hyped fuzz toggle problem

    One of the pairs (top-mid or bottom-mid) should be ON when the toggle is at mid position. Check with a multimeter. Select this What you need to know is which side is ON. 1 2 3 4 5 6 1-3 and 4-6 Or 2-4 and 5-6 find the correct orientation
