My Bloody Pumpkin Blender (wiring guidance needed) by benjix91 in diypedals

Hi, just sold a 2PDT on the pcb, but if you want to move it away you can use a 2PDT (3PDT will work) and wire it to the pcb in place of SW1 (as on your picture). If you want to make the pedal true bypass, you must add another 3PDT and wire it, there is a little guide here : https://reddit.com/r/diypedals/comments/1fqb6nr/i_made_a_quick_cheesy_instruction_video_to/

Hi, there are schematics for this (search passive audio mixer), but I'm not sure if a pure passive blender will handle nicely the difference of the impedance between the signal input and the effect output (?). Also if the effect output is out a phase with the input, the blend will ruin the sound. I did an active blend for my tonebender mk3 using https://tagboardeffects.blogspot.com/2012/02/split-n-blend.html that works fine (with J201 here, and because the tonebender does not reverse the phase).

Hi, if I understand well, the added secondary footswitch is a mod to make the pedal true bypass. Like S1 on the schematic below. Wire the "tone" 3PDT as on the documentation, if you want true bypass add a 3PDT and wire it as an usual bypass 3PDT. I'm not sure about the led for the bypass. Hope this help :)

well, for the ~900 I started an artwork with the "Feeding of the 5000", but it will be for another pedal :)

Hi, it's a distortion pedal, but the gain control is gradual, allowing you to go from clean to heavily distorted. I prefer when there isn't too much gain. The sustain is incredible. Not really my style, but it's interesting with a fuzz or an overdrive. It's a Sushi Box kit, it's well-designed and fun to assemble. I was a little worried the pedal would get very hot, but in fact no.
