Wrecking Ball needs some updates

[PunchySunshine]

Nate, I just finished building the wrecking ball and WOWSERS it’s good!
I did have a couple of notes. First, the 4u7 25V cap from the build doc doesn’t seem to be needed as there isn’t a place for it on the board. Secondly, I used your artwork file (thank you for supplying) and Tayda sent me an error message. I said to print anyway and it came out with the tread on top: I’m usually good at following directions but I could have f’d this up. Figured I’d give a heads up.

Oh weird, I was pretty sure I had the artwork file set up properly, I'll take a look. I wonder if they don't like the order. It would need to be printed gray -> white -> black and it looks like they printed it white -> gray -> black.

And good note about the extra cap on the BOM. I have a BOM template that I reuse between projects so I'm not grabbing every single component link from scratch, and sometimes an extra component from a previous project ends up getting left behind when it wasn't needed. I'll get that updated.

Still looks super cool!!

Mine looks ok to me, but I guess I printed in the black version, I think.

What mods are those switches up top?

The right switch would be a bright switch that removes C6 and C7 from the circuit.
The left one is a Deep switch that lets me use a Bass guitar with the pedal, it adds 47uF caps across C9, C10 and C11 to let more bass through.
I also changed C4 from 22nF to 68nF to let more bass through the circuit.
Both me and my daughter have bass guitars in our collection so I try to make all my pedals bass friendly just because I can, and I can't help myself when it comes to modding stuff.
