Title: JFET Switching/Buffered Bypass Layout
Post by: drummer4gc on September 03, 2015, 11:03:05 AM
Hey all,

I've got some high gain, true bypass pedals that refuse to stop popping, despite all the regular tricks (pulldown r's, adjusting LED current/removing LED, brand new switch, new in/out caps, etc.) - so, I'm thinking about retrofitting them with input/output buffers and a JFET switching system ala Boss/Ibanez. I've read the Geo article and can find plenty of schematics, but I was wondering if anyone had come across a vero/perf layout for the switching scheme. Just trying to save myself some time by not recreating the wheel, if possible!

Thanks in advance!

Someone had done a layout for a boss type fet switching and posted it here. I can't remember who it was though. Try searching for it.

Here's the thread.  I knew it came back to life recently:
