So I'm relatively new to this building my own pedal thing, and I've ran into a snag with a layout I'm trying to make for myself. I'm wanting to build basically two bazz fuss circuits in series (a buzz box) but I'm wanting to make the second circuit optional via toggle switch. I'm also wanting to put a big muff style tone circuit at the end to tie it all together. So the controls would be level, tone, and buzz box switch. I'm trying to make in on vero but I cant quite figure out how i'd make the second bazz fuss controllable by the toggle as well as how to link up all three circuits together in one board. Here's what i have so far...

the blue circles are the in's of the individual circuits and the black are the outs.

Here's the original layouts I'm using...

Now my problem is the output of the bazz fuss is the level control, and the tones out is the control for it. I'm just not sure how to put them all in series with the middle circuit being optional with a toggle. as well as putting both through the tone so it would control both whether the second one is on or not. Could anyone help me out on my connections?

hi.. have you tried this on breadboard? sometimes adding two of the same pedals in series doesn't sound very satisfying.. you might think that it would sound twice as awesome, but I can assure you it doesn't most of the times. Do you want to share one volume on the two circuits or keep the individual volume knobs?

Welcome to the forum!

Blackout Effectors Fix'd Fuzz and the Zvex Super Duper use series effects with a switch. See the the attached schematic. Essentially you are adding a true bypass switch to one of the circuits.
