Clipping Switch Direction

[joelorigo]

I am wanting to build the Felix OD from Effects Layouts. I have a Black Cat version that I do like but I want to see if I can get the same tones with the Felix but have a Tone control to play with, and have a clipping options switch. Looking at the schematic am I correct in assuming that to the left is the 1N4148 diodes, center is none, and to the right is the LEDs?

I just checked mine and if you are looking at the front of the pedal, right is 1N4148, middle is none, and left is LEDs

had to look at the board but it's the other way around

Ok so I had it opposite, thanks. Just for my own knowledge, how is that illustrated reading the schematic? I know I’ve come here for this type of question before.

Also, what do you think of this one? I feel like I searched “Felix” here for information and didn’t find much.

It isn't really indicated in the schematic as such (there are 1-2-3 designations though). It depends on the footprint they used when laying it out. Typically pad 1 on a switch is the square pad you see on the board but this isn't always the case. It's best to just look for the traces on the actual board. Just remember the switch throws opposite to make contact, and it's flipped around when you have it mounted facing up.

It's not confusing, I swear.

I dig it. I've never played the OG but if you like it, then this one should be an improvement. Depends on your gear but I think it sounds good.

Haha, it's a little bit to wrap my brain around but I get it thanks!

Very nice looking pedal!
