  1. Thank you for the layout : I was eyeballing another layout this morning, as i have some spare 3P4T to use in a new build ;)

  2. I built it today, but i think i made a wiring error somewhere... The pedal doesn't produce any sound. I have checked all the polarized components (diodes, electro capacitors), as well as the wiring, but i must have made a mistake.
    I'll triple check asap, and let you know how it goes.

  3. Hi, Sorry for the late reply : I got back to this build today : I get a sound when i put my input jack directly on pin 2/3 of the GAIN pot, but not when i use the regular Input jack.
    I am going to investigate further.

    1. I can also confirm that if i put the input jack directly on the GAIN 2-3 lug, i can hear the signal, and everything works (i hear different distortion flavors by turning the 3P4T switch, and the tone is very efficient also).
      BUT If i plug the input jack in the input socket, i don’t hear anything.

    2. Ok : stupid me I had forgotten the huge and obvious 470nF cap in row 7... :(
      Now it works very well, and it's an amazing pedal!
      Verified :)

  4. I can't believe the amount of bass this thing produce : it's loud, ballsy, and I like the way the tone pot behavior change according to the various modes.
