Hi! beginner pedal modder here, i understand a bit of electronics and its terms
im planning to build the ultimate proco rat pedal but the rotary mod seems a bit off..
i am using a 2P6P rotary to match both of the diodes, when i plugged it in it just sounds so fizzy and crackly (like a blown out speaker), i tried switching to different modes but all of them has the same clipping sound. i suspect the signal was not going anywhere thus just uses the op amps grainy clipping and something is wrong with the wiring
at first it seemed like thats the case but when is shorted out the position/mode i was currently in the sound vanishes, which i assumed that means the switch is working fine as intended but the signal is going through.. somewhere???
again i have little clue on why it does this and i think this might be a rookie mistake
heres an image of basically what i did
