How do you feel about the bent over electro?

Forgot to mention that the fets are J201

Is there a space constraint? Would the cap not fit in the box if it was upright?

I just checked google maps, those traces can be seen on google street view if you leave one outside your house. The only pedal that can be traced from space!

Maybe the Shuttle crew can take care of this one then!

The electro is bent over so that it fits under one of the jacks.

My first trace. I haven't had time to redraw on the computer yet.

Double sided board with, to my mind, a convoluted layout. Parts values were marked on the board but were different in a number of places. One position marked 100K had a 0.056f cap instead. All positions marked 1.5K were 1.8K. There was a spot for a 220K resistor to connect across lugs 1 and 3 of the volume pot but this was not fitted.

hi,
such an old thread...

I've seen Mentone sells a modified version with a switchable bass cut, I wonder how he can do it.

I see two places for a different çap value, the cap at the output of the first Fet and the bypass cap over the source resistor of the second Fet.

Any idea? could anybody confirm it?
thx
