I have a BYOC large beaver pcb, and I'd like to build it to Triangle specs, however I don't have room in my enclosure for the rotary switch (nor do I need to have that function).  Is it possible to just have one cap wired in place, and eliminated the rotary switch altogether?  How would I do this?

there should be in and out wires that go to the switch.  i would say that you would just attach a cap to wherever those leads would attach to the pcb.  haven't given it a good look though.

Yea, makes sense.  I'll have a closer look at the schematic and see how it works out.  But if I still have any problems, I'll post back here.

What do the BYOC people who support that pedal say?

In response to the questions in the forum - PCB Layout for Musical Effects is available from The Book Patch. Search "PCB Layout" and it ought to appear.

Right, I totally forgot the whole "BYOC" has their own forum thing.   Sorry, my first instinct has always been to come here for help.  I'll see what the BYOC folks can do  for me.

Just find out what position the rotary switch is in when its on the triangle specs and jumper it.

Or are we supposed to not help people with BYOC pedals anymore  :-X

I managed to figure it out with a little schematic viewing.  I decided to bypass the tone control altogether, and I just have to jumper certain pads.
