I'm digging it! I need to get into etching boxes! Or at least boards :/

Hmm. Idk if I would want my Orange Squeezer to be on all the time. I need to re-box it though. This makes me think I would put it in with a clean blend circuit and leave it on, though. There would def be space without the 3pdt switch. Oh yes! Game on!

Yeah it was a difficult decision, But I decided if I'm gonna compress my signal, it's gonna stay compressed. :P

The only problem I had without having the switch was biasing the damn thing so it was actually compressing. Comparing the compressed signal to the clean signal was a constant juggle of cables.. But I got there in the end  ;). If I was to do it again I would probably put a temporary switch in so that I could get the trimpot on the right setting before boxing.. I never rock before I box. (although I SHOULD)... Its all just too exiting! :P

I should also mention that I subbed in the bass components that were mentioned in another thread here. Its very subtle, but adds a nice little bit of tightness to the sound. :)
