Holy crap! And here I was, thinking the schematic was complex... This is just insane. Now if only I had the money to make one... Best sounding distortion ever!

Btw, did you design the layout yourself? Cause I am very impressed. Although I bet thing this would be a bitch to debug...

thanks man!
yeap. i designed the vero layout.it's the biggest i've ever drew!
i believe this layout matches with the shematic. if the schem is ok (i hope!!!!) we won't need debuging!!!

waiting for dual pots to try this...though i'm not at all a distortion guy, i feel like after 4 days of drawing this, this is something like a child to me, and i have to raise it...!!!

Here's what the layout verifier Google has to say about the schematic: it's probably verified.
there already was a verified layout: http://elkit.web.id/2011/04/zoom-tri-metal-tm-01/

thanks modman!
i have a question on this.
do you have any idea what to do with that "0k" resistor?
should we replace it with a link?

Imho 0R is a link. I have a crybaby wah that has a 0R in it, and I'm tempted to just switch it out for a small piece of wire.
Now, I may be wrong, so if someone who knows this stuff better than I do (which would be anyone else :roll: ) posts, I will accept correction.

0 ohm resistor is used in an automated assembly process. easier to handle than a wire jumper.

Old topic, old pedal.

Thanks.
