What goes in the big unlabeled spot on this PCB? I've got everything else I need but couldn't figure out what kind of component goes there. Thanks!

That's a vactrol. Not sure which specific one though. It's a LED and LDR in a box. It's possible to make your own but you'd need a schematic.

Too bad PedalPCB doesn't make a Mu-Tron III.

I wonder if you could roll your own version of the vtl5c4/2 with an LED and 2 LDRs wired together to make a 3 legger?
Huh, the beavis schematic calls for a 5c9 instead. Strange.

Can we post schematics from other places ? I believe this is very, very close to what you want. Use Xvive Audio VTL5C3/2 Dual Element Opto-Coupler.

That johnk schematic has typos. Turns out the Beavis one is wrong too. This one looks correct. The PedalPCB board is wired for true bypass, this schematic is not.
