Can anyone point out the in/outs for the red and brown channels for M Sr. I can not for the life of me figure out that switch wiring diagram.

I am trying to wire two 3mm led's to show channel and a 5mm led to show on/off. Read it over, still feel like I am missing something.

Okay, so just one channel basically. Still not totally clear on the wiring but I'll work it out.

Hey guys, I'm dying to build one of these, but want to make sure I've got the right layout: the vero layout posted earlier is a single channel only, right? Is there a layout for the whole shebang? Or a PCB to be bought? Thanks!

Madbeanpedals.com had a great pcb for the two channel version ("mysterioso sr"), but the project file is not online at the moment. Maybe you should ask him?
I used his layout for my pedal and I think I etched at least two pcb´s, so I could sell you one. But shipment from germany would be quite expensive...

Hey all,

Is there a vero/strip board layout available for the "Sr." version of this pedal?

Thanks

There's a wiring correction to the Sr. version, BTW.

I soldered together the Jr. version from the vero layout a while back and, while it's too late to crank outside my headphone amp, this thing is pretty great sounding.

I'm thinking of using it as a preamp for a Tiny Giant solid state amp, but might just have to build the Sr. version for fun too (Madbean, any word on that batch?).

Just need to finish soldering/wiring up the board redesign. It's been a long time coming.

for some people it could be useful to add a second version of the wiring: two separate LED´s, the bi-color LED for the channel switch stays always on and the bypass gets a separate LED. This way it´s possible to pre-select a channel in bypass mode.

That's a good idea. Thanks!

That is how I did mine. I should have posted my vero layout along time ago but here it is. I used board mounted pots to simplify the off board wiring.

Oops I just noticed a little mistake in the "green level" and "green drive" labels on my vero layout. They should read "blue level" and blue drive" as shown on this updated vero.
