Gotten a lot of requests for this one and I finally bit the bullet and laid it out. It's the pedal version of the 3rd channel on Diezel's VH4 amplifier with loads of tonal control and tons of gain on tap. Originals are buffered effects, with the input jack wired to the In pad, and a DPDT footswitch selecting between the Out and Buffer Out pads (footswitch wiring diagram below). You can also wire it for true bypass if you prefer and just ignore the Buffer Out pad. The pedal can also be used as a standalone preamp with the Power Out going to the input of a power amplifier (the return jack of an amp's effects loop). It's designed to run off a 12 or 18 volt supply, but it will apparently work just fine of a 9 volt supply (and if planning on going that route, I'd omit the regulator and jump its in and out pads). Also, the indicator LED can be hard mounted to the board, and the whole layout will fit nicely in a 1590BB. Schematic and discussion on FSB here.
