The toggle switch engages
‘Expand’ mode, which is the
second footswitch on the
original. Toggle down = on.
*Germanium in the original. If you opt for Ge we’ll
supply Russian diodes, so these will need to be
reversed compared to the PCB silkscreen. The stripes
indicate anode on these. BAT46 are readily available
and behave almost identical to Ge diodes in this circuit.
**Other NPN BJTs can be substituted, such as
2N3904 or 2N5089.

Snap the small metal tag off the pots so
they can be mounted flush in the box.
You should solder all other board-mounted
components before you solder the pots. Once
they’re in place you’ll have no access to much of
the board.
Toggle switch
We’ve come up with this version of the circuit
because, in our opinion, the pedal sounds awful
without the tone expansion engaged. If you want
to keep it simple and have this mode always-on,
you can leave out the toggle and add a jumper as
shown above in red.
This template is a rough guide only. You should ensure correct marking of your
enclosure before drilling. You use this template at your own risk.

It’s a good idea to add 1mm to anything
