The one you posted above will only allow one circuit one active at a given time.  Is that what you are looking for?  If so , you could use a DPDT as a selector switch ( 3PDT if you want to use separate LEDs).

Yes, that's what I've been trying to do. Isn't that the intention of the build? That you have 2 independent Fuzz-Effects in one pedal?
I guess both ways will lead to the same end. Except that I could enable both effects at the same time with your second option. But is there a point even doing so? wouldn't there be just a shitload of distortion, which makes your original tone unrecognizable? Also, if you say that two 3PDT stomps won't fit in an 1590A, that's not really an option if you indeed want to build it in that casing.

EDIT: I just had a look at the 1590A casing again (it's my first time with that one) and I have to admit, that my switching would never fit. I even doubt, that I could fit one stomp a regular switch and 4 potentiometers... Guess, I'll get a 1590B or something similar.

All solid points.  I used a DPDT to switch the inputs and outputs and then used the standard wrong diagram ( similar to what you drew, but no individual LED).  It was tight, but it did fit in a 1590a.

I didn't do two separate 3PDT stomps because I wanted to fit it in a 1590a, but I suspect many people will build it that way so that they can choose either one while playing without having to lean over and flip the toggle switch.

There's no wrong way, just different preferences.

Thanks for your fast replies. After looking at the casing i just have to ask how on earth you managed to put 4 potentiometers in that casing? Did you put some on the side walls or are all of them on top? I'd really like to see your final stompbox, if you find time for it.

I've actually posted it already in the build reports section.  You can find it under the title "FaceBender."

I'm on my phone now, but let me know if you can't find a link and I'll add it to the thread later.

Sorry for the dredge, but there's a certain black humour in the NoMoJo for me.

It might claim to be mojo-free, but I still wind up ordering from suppliers I normally don't touch for this "no mojo", and still get stung for shipping ;) :)  :P (Mouser for the smd parts; I had to order some other stuff, so grabbed 'em while I was at it. I think Mouser automatically adds on the $39 shipping when they see "Alan" anywhere in the order, even if I just have small parts.)

Did you miss the group buy for the SMD stuff?
Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

Like I said, I needed to get other stuff while I was at it, so I didn't want to bother them.

But my point still stands; "group buy" for plain, no mojo stuff? ;) ;)

Is there any news on the Function Fx launch?  :-\

Since there are only 4 more days in the First Quarter of 2014, and there is no feedback system on the site, I figured I would ask here.

Updates??

pickdropper

Unfortunately, we are definitely not going to make it out in the first quarter.  The good news is that we are making progress.  Towards the end of the 2nd quarter or early 3rd is more likely.

Here's a teaser shot of the overdrive we're working on.  I haven't had a chance to goop the outside yet.   ;D

We've been pretty quiet but also very busy. Some products got shelved, and new ones have taken their place. We're really very close to the manufacturing stage now.
