I didn't have 3mm red diode, put 5mm red diode instead (if it matters). I first connected all pots wrong way (lug 1 was 3 and lug 3 was 1) and got this horrible fizziness. So be sure you have them right way. I used Alpha 20k W-taper as Tone pot, works fine. Granted in extreme settings you will get serious distortion.

Could I use a DPDT on-off-on and run wires from the onboard diode locations to the toggle to get a original/TS switch?<br />Also, what effect would having two diodes in series in each direction have as opposed to just one diode in each direction?

For my use I wanted it to work as more of a foundation pedal (more of a second amp tone to chain a klon into) and found the low cut to be too dramatic for my deluxe-esque 10" speaker amp. I switched the 220n output cap to a 470n and it's perfect now - looking around I think that's what the Zendrive does anyway...Brent Rusinowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02736617057046557300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-61941653478813750582016-12-18T07:26:00.714+00:002016-12-18T07:26:00.714+00:00Whoops, I said that backwards, the Accent knob do...Whoops, I said that backwards, the Accent knob doesn't seem to have any effect when the tone is turned down.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14755425026558014285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-73001094275728626242016-12-16T21:14:19.018+00:002016-12-16T21:14:19.018+00:00Not exactly sure what that means!

I wanted to build the pedal without the diodes, but I followed the second schematic (which includes the diodes) and just didn't put the diodes in. Are the first and second layouts essentially the same, just with a capacitor and jumper reorganized to leave more room for the diodes? Or does the changed position of these two components effect the circuit?
