Station Wah as Seagull...

3PDT is your bypass stomper.

DPDT can be a 3PDT if you want to add an LED indicator to that, too.

While you could pull the FEEDBACK pot's lug-3 feed from the output jack itself or the 3PDT's output, I wouldn't recommend it — the great thing about the way Monsieur Bones implemented the switching is that if you bump the pot by accident or for whatever reason(s) the seagulls go full Hitchcockian on you, hitting the bypass will kill the gulls' screams.

Dude thanks so much for taking the time to draw this up, it’s super helpful. Will spend a bit of time comparing it to the schematic to rap my head around working it out myself next time.

Thanks, Feral. I could see making the A500K pot a 500K trimpot. Once it's set, there's not much cause to change it. Mine is hardwired to a fixed level inside the pedal.

Thanks man, don’t know if to do a trim now

I'll suggest a multi-turn trimmer — the screw can rotate fully about 8x, IIRC — perfect for really dialling in the tightest little sweet spot of the pot.




They also come with 3-in-a-row legs instead of the tripod depicted above.

Cheers dude, I’ve ordered some boards whilst there was 15% off. I might even get all fruity and instal an led

look ma, no guitar

Since the needs of a guitar are no longer a concern, I was able to remove the bar magnets from the pickups, and found a greater range of play-ability by changing the volume pot to 10K and the tone to 500K.. There are now smaller dead spots, and the volume pot gets a range of control instead of killing the oscillation ( although it lost the garbling that came from the nearly dead pot ).

For me, the warbling is a key part of the sound.

Here's a challenge: replace the pots with LDRs and play it like a Theremin.

 

[KreoPensas]

I still get the warbling, I'm referring to some absolute chaos I would get from even touching the old volume knob.

Someone I know suggested LDR's as well. Worth a try.

 

[KreoPensas]

LDR + trimpot = heh.

This is an animation studio ( but musicking happens too ) Noisemakers are special here. I have stuff like duck calls. Atari Punk Console. etc.

LDR in an LED housing. 100k pot adjusts the sweet spot of the LDR. Opaque material behind it. Handy piece of scrap acrylic, I'll glue up a wood "cabinet" later.

Don't @ me about wiring. Pristine is for New In Box

When I made the holes I considered the pots to be 'in front' with a 'landacape' orientation.
