I recently stumbled upon this which looks interesting, does anyone have one or know how this works or have a layout? If it were any good I'd probably fit one in my guitar to save space on the pedal board.

i'm guessing here, but since it is passive it is probably like the old gibson varitone. a rotary switch for different value capacitors. i'm sure you can find a schematic or layout for the varitone and do basically the same thing.

Use a TL019 for the trafo. For bass I used 1nF/3.3nF/10nF/47nF/0.22uF/1uF

Use a TM019 for the good inductance
