In my description of the Meatball-Lite I foolishly neglected one of the more important switches, and that was filter mode.  

Since the suggestions I made were to reduce the size of the physical package without reducing too much in the way of functions, some choices need to be made with respect to the mode switch.  The stock Meatball has a chicken-head pointer and 3-position switch at the lower right hand side, for selecting between highpass, lowpass, and bandpass modes.  (As Craig Anderton showed way back in EPFM, a  state-variable filter such as this also can produce a notch filter if you mix high and lowpass together, but this option is not used in the Meatball or McMeat.)  

Reducing this to a toggle switch will not be possible, unless one is willing to sacrifice one of the filter modes and use a regular SPDT toggle to select between two filter modes.  For those who want to use this as their main swept filter pedal, and so want "normal" sounds, my own vote would be for selecting bandpass vs lowpass and leaving highpass unused.  On the other hand, if you're building it yourself then you may well have other swept filters built or in your sights.  The majority of such filters are bandpass filters or have bandpass capability.  So, if you want something for experimental purposes, the use the toggle to select highpass or lowpass, and leave bandpass unused.
