VFE switching board vs. 3pdt for VFE projects

[greysun]

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.
