Sanity check please!
When I was testing out my Parenthesis Fuzz V2, I initially thought something was wrong with it because the Octave effect was always bypassing the signal when Distortion was off. Then I realized that when Distortion was engaged, the Octave worked perfectly fine.
I looked over the schematic and it does seem that the Distortion In must pass through the Octave section before reaching the Distortion section, which confirms what I am experiencing.
Is my analysis correct, and you can only use Octave when Distortion is on? I also realized that the original lifepedal only had Distortion and Boost switches, so this might have actually been the design intention for extra Octave 3PDT... but I hope someone can tell me that I am wrong and that I could use the Octave effect independent of the Distortion I just can't find any glaring errors in my build at the moment.
