Hi,

I've just build the Octavius from PCB Guitar Mania:

https://pcbguitarmania.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Octavius-Building-Docs.pdf

And I have a output level issue. With the switch at the octavia, the pedal works fine, but in the fuzz mode I have very low output level.

Any suggestion??

Thanks.

Yes, but it's a PCB and I can't change the configuration. Do you think it's a design error?

Not an error by its own..
(design principles are correct..)

I'd try to wire SW1 lug 3 on D2/D3/Vol-lug3 joint..
