Introductions / Greetings and a question
February 20, 2016, 06:04:37 PM
Dear forum readers,

I am glad to have discovered this forum, I figured there would be a thriving community surrounding pedal building. I have only ever made 2 improvised "pedals" in the past (both passive and not very effective): an ABY switch and a bass-contour box (inverse guitar tone control on the floor). I'm looking for a new hobby and was astounded by the amount of circuit designs available here and my hands are itching to pick up the solder iron again.

I immediately have a question! I wanted to pick something relatively easy to start with, so I chose the B.F.C. (Keeley comp) from the main site. I understand most of the basic symbols, apart from 2 or 3 (two are similar). These are the boxes: "VB", "VC" and a circle with "pin" in it (see figure). Am I right in thinking that "VB" and "VC" stand for all points to be connected to eachother? What about pin?

Cheers and many thanks!
