Well, you were right...three times...three misconnection...geez what was I on...oh, yeah....

Everything works well now. I had a sort of gate effect at some point, which was pretty cool on the upper string but it killed the 3 lower ones. It's a really cool pedal. I like it when I palm mute on the lower strings and I still get the grinding you get on the upper strings, from the pick scratching the wrapping.

One thing tho, the tone 50k pot/trim affects the volume alot, anyone have an idea how to get around that? An explaination of why that happens would be cool too. Maybe I just wired something wrong again...

Great work, keep it up! Yoo can doo it! Run forest, run! And thnx :D

Ciao.

It  affects the volume alot because of the amount of treble it rolls off. You could try taking out the resistor(2.2k) that follows the pot which would raise the rolloff frequency a bit, therefore reducing the volume rolloff, or even use a smaller pot like 25 or even 10k.
