Leave both the compressors engaged. Disengaging/engaging the effect and selecting A or B is done in the external box.

The switch box could be used for any two effects... a pair of DS-1's with different settings? An overdrive and a distortion? Whatever you like...

Yes, I thought it might be too complex, or two circuits. No worries.

I think the first iteration still seems pretty good. I still like the A/B switch and one pedal as board space is tight.

( If I got one I'd mod for a bright toggle on the B channel;) )

Alright.......

How about this? Again, not sure how feasible, but as a concept.

There would be an internal trimpot to set the amount of level boost for B. Treble boost would be fixed.

(I just see that there seems to be no proper syllable division for the word "threshold" ...)

Hey!! It's a mockup :?

Poetic license ... to make it read betterer.

I just realized... if you turn the Effect level to zero, this would be a clean boost pedal functionally equivalent to a HZD boost.

Looks great. That of course would also double as a DUAL boost pedal! How cool is that :D

Nice one Laurie, looking great!

Funnily enough, looking at the mockup colors I now see a white pedal with a red "racing strip" running around the side. I'm a sucker for retro and red/white/blue. :lol:

Knobs... all I see is knobs... so many knobs!
