It also looks like the pushpull pot is a dual pot and the 12k is connected to the middle lug of the B side and the blue wire to the A side outer lug and I think I see a cap to block the DC...on that switch......tho....my eyes are not that good these days :lol:

I had a look at some YouTube vids to compare the sound of my build with the real thing and I'm very happy with how it turned out. One of the vids made mention that the push/pull pot operated a tone bypass.
You must have better eyes than me, I was really struggling to make out any of those resistor values!

I've just designed my first eagle layout, how can I share the .brd and .sch files with everyone here so they can try it out if they want. all axial capacitors :D
Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do.
