Corduroy Fuzz trimpots & Toggle Switch

I see that latest rev of the Corduroy Fuzz has three trimpots for setting the drain voltages. What drain voltage are we shooting for? Not all toggle switches are the same height, can someone recommend a particular part number, mfgr or supplier? I had to shim the pots on my Covert Overdrive because the switch was a bit too tall. One more thing, I'm pretty sure that the BIG setting is with Q1 selected, can someone confirm? Is UP the setting for BIG, same as the original Velvet Fuzz?

Thanks,

Hello @Chuck D. Bones, have you figured out the target drain voltages per each trimpots? I saw one of your comment said that toggle up is for tight and down is for Big, is it correct?

Cheers
 
The toggle is reversed from the Velvet Fuzz. Down is for Big, with the signal going thru Q1. Up is for Tight, with the signal going thru the LM386. I just set the drain voltages for approx 4.5V. Not saying that is the optimum sound, but it was good enough for me.
