Small Clone

[lerxst88]

So I was debugging this small clone and I figured out that shorting out the D and S legs of a K30A GR5C FET made it work.

Are there any downsides to just soldering a jumper in there?

Ive never heard of this kind of FET. What else could I use if I need a replacement?

Thanks!

Have done 5 of those on this layout/shem and had no problems what so ever and no K30A GR5C FET

well thats what made it work haha. what can i say

Maybe tell us which schematic you used? The tonepad schematic at least has no FETs.

This must be an original Small Clone with FET switching. Shorting the D&S pins makes the pedal be "on" all the time, which allows true bypass to be possible.

yeah its a newer small clone and it came with a 3pdt switch so i dont even need that FET? I just want to be sure Im not going to short something out down the line
