Switching with a switch vs with a FET

[merlinb]

a big muff is in the 40% to 85% range depending on sustain and tone settings. (84% is what i measured with max sustain, volume and full brightness)

Is that supposed to be THD? A perfect square wave has 48.3% THD so I doubt you're seeing 84%!

if you put in a 110Hz sine wave, distort that, and then take all low end out of the signal with the tone control on brightest, the THD reader shows 84%
mainly because of the filtering taking out the fundamental freq.
