Need to build a preamp based on the gk2 schematic - with only 2 signals from the pickup not 6. So it'll be 4 IC blocks, do you think a TL074 will work?! I think it should work fine...
I see two momentary switches (up/down) which will be 2 footswitches and one on off on spdt as sw3?!? Also, where does R20 points and connects?! I guess to +7v, right!?

Yeah, should work fine.

That switch is an actual sp3t, but I think on/off/on would do about the same thing.

Yep, it's a control voltage.

Which 2 strings, and what are you routing them to?  I am imagining that these are two bass strings, but I'll let you confirm that.
And this is a GK2, or a different pickup being used like a GK2?

thanks for the info ashcat!!! I appreciated that.
Mark I don't know the details, I have been asked to replicate that circuit in a pedal exchange, so the guy gave me the main directions.

Maybe you have to ask the guy for details...  :icon_wink:

There are signals that don't feel comfort facing an 200R Input impedance (even with a X1100 gain..)
