Thanks Dave, that looks good. I like the waveforms around the WAVE
knob and moving the Clean/Dirty switch in line with the APF/LPF
switches. You don't think the AUX pot and jack are too close? I find
the biggest annoyance with designing a circuit is getting everything
to fit nicely into a panel. It always seems that you've got just one
jack or pot too many (i.e. if that AUX pot wasn't there then the two
invert switches could be moved in line with all the other switches).
Oh well, I'd rather have the option than not.
I'll post a schematic of my circuit mods once I get this built (not
that you need it, the mods are quite simple, but maybe someone else
would like it). Maybe we'll see a BrideChamber version of this
someday. Is there a 5U big-knob version of this coming down the pipes?
