Title: VFE switching board vs. 3pdt for VFE projects
Post by: greysun on September 01, 2025, 12:32:12 PM
Apologies if this has been answered, as I did some sleuthing around the internet and this board before posting, but looking at the VFE docs for a distortion 3 and wondering...

I can see the trimmer is used for the LED, but outside of that is there a reason one couldn't use a standard 3pdt for some of the VFE builds? Perhaps some power filtering is in there that I'm not considering...

Someone on the forum recommended a distortion 3, which I have on order now - was maybe going to rehouse it into an older enclosure so space is a consideration, but looking at the docs, it's not a split rail requirement or seemingly anything requiring the switching board explicitly, so thought it worth at least asking...

Appreciation in advance! :) thank you!

You'll be fine. You will need to put a pull down resistor  (1m) across the 1/4" input lugs to tame any switch pop.
