Intense and precise Laurie, we expect nothing else :D

Looking forward to the final build.

Have you thought much about the switching arrangmenets etc?
Thank you!

Only one switch - the 3PDT to switch the effect in and out. Tone switch replaced by a potentiometer giving a "tilt" tone control between the two tone options. I'm finding a blend of half and half sounds pretty good.

The original pedal is battery only. My version has battery or external supply.

When powered from an external 9V supply, because the pedal is such high gain, some supplies inject a LOT of noise. The small yellow and blue capacitors on the back of the board are part of the noise reduction circuitry.

I'll post a technical explanation of all the noise reduction if anyone is interested?

I’d be interested to learn how that works. Thanks Laurie.
