Can I replace this odd switch with 2 toggles??

[nate77]

I picked up this pcb from pedalpartsuk.com which seems to be a pretty solid place, and even though I'd made this particular circuit on vero before I decided to pick one up despite my support for the creator of this circuit. My curiosity got the best of me I guess. So I'm wondering if I can replace the double slide switch on the layout with a pair of individual toggles. On-off's or on-on's. I've only got on-on switches right now but think I can use a pair of those instead just wiring the outer lugs of each to the input/output signal pads. Am I way off the mark here?

WHAT circuit/PCB ? ?

I can't disagree with that. In a moment of weakness and curiosity while picking up a couple other boards I stumbled onto this and didn't realize what it what until a checked it out when I got it. I've also done a vero version of this an love it, as well as own an original. However, now that I've got it, I'm building it. I figured it out anyway. Kind of a dumb question on my part. Thanks

Sorry man, misread your post. When I posted that I posted (tried to anyway). http://shop.pedalparts.co.uk/Candyman_Overdrive/p847124_11614726.aspx. Hopefully it sticks this time.

You can use any kind of toggle if you want, instead of dipswitches. It's just switching in and out diodes in the feedback path.

I'm a little sad that someone out there is selling PCBs for this circuit. It's easy enough to perf or diy pcb if you want a timmy of your own without the wait, but offering PCBs makes it a little too easy. Paul is one designer / seller that gets my full respect, and he doesn't charge much.

I agree. It's an easy circuit to make if you like to make one for yourself. It was inevitable, I just didn't think I'd be unwittingly grabbing one myself. I didn't realize anyone had done this yet until I took a look through the pcb, then dug up the schem.
