Super '64 Overdrive ..... First try.. lol

Actually had a build go pretty straight forward and smooth. No frills little dirt box. Can't really tell any difference with the toggle switch.. if there is a difference it's very subtle.

Great job! I like that little bolt dude! Very clever!

If I am reading the schematic correctly it looks like the switch throws in a 120kΩ to make a voltage divider before output. So I would guess the impact would depend upon the actual signal voltage change…..or maybe it’s just for looks?

Either way, it’s a great-looking build sir.

The 120K is in parallel with the 470K one which lowers the overall resistance at the output of that second stage. That won’t change the voltage the last stage sees but it probably affects the frequency response of the filter right before (controlled by the tone knob).

Yeah, that's the problem with switches like that. Have had plenty of pedals with similar switches that don't sound like they do much of anything.

Thank you for the clarification. Another nugget acquired.
