I am building a few pork barrels. Someone requested that I make one suited for bass. There are a few things I want to try with these boards.
1. The LFO mod, I like the greater depth but with the LFO indicator I've found that the sound is a bit choppy...I'm not sure how to describe it but it's not as smooth as without the LFO indicator. So I just omitted R39 and I have the depth without the choppiness. I also tried putting a 22k resistor in R39...similar effect to omitting the resistor. Any recommendations for getting a deeper, smooth chorus...omitting R39, replacing it with a larger resistor value?
2. I took a look at the tone pad mods. I want to do the wet bass mod but I don't want to add a switch. I want it to be wet all the time the pedal is engaged. The mod shows two capacitors in parallel. With a switch in series with one of the capacitors. I thought I could just add the value of the capacitors and the sum would be the value capacitor I want...but that would give me a .033 uF capacitor which is what the tonepad build guide calls for...so that can't be right. Anyone know how to hardwire the tonepad wet bass mod without the switch?

Two caps and a switch make the mod - .012µf (12nf) and a .022µf (22nf). If the switch is closed the .022µf cap is added in parallel to the .012 for a total .033µf (the stock value)
Since you want wet bass always on - you just want the .012µf cap, and I suggest you socket it.

Sorry for the ridiculously late reply, but thanks a whole bunch Clay. It worked out great!
No worries! Thanks for reporting back in.
