No idea, I haven't tried any Omegs yet as they aren't too easy to get here.

Ok, accidentally I've located my layout for two FX's in one box with switching as mentioned earlier while looking for other files.

NOTE: it's not the switching route used by DAM in The Mother Fucker, it's working like master bypass for whole effect when stomping on one switch, and the other switch shifts circuit A or circuit B.

IMO way cooler and more useful. Stacking two fuzzes in line is sick idea.

The Omegs can't be any worse than Alpha pots though, especially spec wise.

tolerance is ±20%, like Alphas.
Life >20.000 cycles. Alpha doesn't state any life expectancy. :hmmm:

Ok, I was on it again, I just couldn't leave it without external wiring. I hope I did this right.

Here's what it should do by D.Main
The output socket of the Smoke section and the input socket of the Grease section visually indicate this internal connection on the face of the enclosure. Once a jack is inserted into the input socket of the Grease stage the internal series connection is broken. This can then be used in a multitude on ways. Further effects can be linked in between the two fuzz sections, each section can be fed to individual amplifiers, and the order of the internal link can be re-routed…and so on. The Mother Fucker also features two inputs on the Smoke stage, this could be utilised as a tuner feed, used for second instrument, or used as a direct bypass etc. The MF-72 also features two outputs on the Grease stage, could be used feed two separate amplifiers or a single amplifier and a recording device etc.
Does it will? Fuck knows, I just fallowed picts, If it needs correction, please speak up

So it needs correction after all ;) No idea about wiring, to me should be fine. The problem was - missing trace cut on both boards

Now fixed, and redone on 0,15" pich vero
