I just need pots and wiring on my build. Caught Covid again a week ago and been tied up with home renos.
Looking forward to wrapping it up soon though.
Thanks again for putting this out there in the wild. I'll report in once done!

LaceSensor

Cool. I am looking forward to seeing how everyone tackles this build.

For the begginings, I think http://hownotomakeapedal.blogspot.com is still alive

Just checking in here to make sure firstly that by now everyone that ordered one received their PCBs?

Also, how are people getting on with populating / building this one?

Got it. Looking forward to it, but it's behind a few other projects I have to wrap up first.

Hey LaceSensor, is SW2 on/on type 2?

LaceSensor

It's just a standard DPDT bypass switch

I don't know what you mean by type 2

As far as I was aware the only "types" when it comes to DPDT are in relation to three position lever types??

DPDT toggles come in different "types" with regards to pole switching. Dead End FX uses some of the less common "type" DPDT toggles in some of their builds.

LaceSensor

Yeah but I wasnt really aware of that being a thing for "on-on" types. Colour me educated.
I was aware of it for on-off-on types....

For the avoidance of doubt, its this type

LaceSensor

Oops. Typo - its a 100k pot

Ive revised the online BOM doc - good catch.
