Since the arrival of the Zeropoints, my Multiplex hasn't being getting the love it deserves. So I've decided to revist it and mod it to the max with the addition of modulation and reverb.

Also we've changed the filtering to be like a Zeropoint's deep setting. It makes it less tapey, but I prefer it this way. As a result of these changes it's also much more happy with high output humbuckers than it was. For reference:

Nice, so the verb is permanently chained to the delay?

Yup, if you don't want it just dial it back. I didn't want it stand alone in this one.

What's up with the wiring on the second switch?

Killer looking build bro

It's a momentary for the stretchy tape effect. One side makes, the other side breaks. I'm using the other pole simply as an anchor for the LED (the leg and the negative line are connected to it).

another beautiful build (as usual)!

I've just woken up after a heavy night so forgive me if this is a dumb question:
despite the explanation above I can't figure out how you have wired the 2pdt switch.
The wire from D2 on the pcb goes to the negative leg of the LED and is then anchored
to the switch, I get that, but how have you managed to have the isulation go continuously to the switch and wrap around the leg of the LED. This is nifty beyond belief. I can imagine my attemps to do this ending up looking like a pig's ear!

LOL, it was completely unintentional but the photo is hiding the leg of the LED.

Essentially the right hand side of the switch it doing the switching, the left hand side I'm just using the centre pin as a convenient place to anchor one of the legs of the LED so it's fixed in position. The wire that goes to that leg of the LED is also connected to the same post and is obscuring the LED leg that's underneath.

Wow, I know I've got a long way to be able to do something at this level.  A masterful job to say the least.

Excellent, I don't feel so incompetent now. If I'd been you, however, I'd be tempted to say "the camera never lies and I have super natural powers"  ;D
