Is it possible?

A buddy of mine wants me to build him a stereo nautilus but with only one set of controls. Do i need two boards wired to a 4pdt and split wiring to the pots or is there a mod i could do to make one board run stereo? I'm thinking I am missing something logistically here.

any thoughts here?

You could run two boards with dual gang pots, and the 3p4t switch or a 4p3t switch would work, you just wire each board up to two different poles.

Are you talking about a mono-in, dual mono out kind of thing? You could always take the signal off the "A" part of SW1A and run a second output using whatever method you like. Duplicate the output stage that's there, or do something with a BJT.

No, more like a true stereo. I figured the best way would be to use two boards. If there are any other ways about it though...

ya im thinking that's the way it's going down for sure with a 4pdt foot switch.

Man it would be so cool though to have it go from one to the other stereo wise. Mind=blown

a more technical solution might be to run both channels off the same envelope generator (IC2C and D), so the filter sweep on both channels is the same. if he's using it for guitar, it should sound fine with stereo pots.

it's for a dj friend. i guess the thinking is that he could use one set of controls with stereo program that could potentially be different at any given time.
