Re: Arkaim Hookup

[k3yPr0gg3r]

Hi,

Another question with regard to the Arkaim Fuzz. I get that there's a Bypass and a Heavy footswitch. To test the board after I build it, do I only need to hookup the Bypass (right as you're looking down on the board) side? Also, there are 5 hookup outs on the Heavy side. I use footswitch PCBs from Fuzz Dog. How do I hookup this side, (what is the 5th out for)?

Thank you!!

If you scroll to p. 4, it will show you how to do the offboard wiring:

I'm too lazy to look at the schematic to see if it would work without the boost wired in, but if you're doing one footswitch already, why not the other?

Removing the heavy switch will chop this section out of the circuit. It might still make noise, but it won’t work correctly. The Notch pot will just be hanging, etc, etc.
