Title: Does this look right? Klon buffer or true bypass mod on a switch.
Post by: jimmybjj on August 28, 2012, 02:39:50 PM
At work and bored hence the napkin drawing :) thinking about different switching schemes without actual hardware in front of me makes my head hurt :)

What I wanted to accomplish is to have a switchable true bypass and buffered output. When in true bypass a 1m pull down resistor would be thrown in the mix and pullout when the buffer is on. Also the clipping diodes would be grounded like in the regular Klon.

Thanks Ian, Looks like it does the same job but doesn't switch the resistor. I am pretty sure what I have for will work, just want a second opinion if it works or not or if there is a better way to do it.

Did you ever get this working?  Looking for a similar solution myself... just now came across this thread.

 I never got around to finishing this. But i do know my drawing is INCORRECT. I think this one is correct, although i have tried it myself yet.

I may have to try this on my Kingslayer

Buffers are great but sometimes they can be a pain when your using a fuzz unless you happen to like that crazy fuzz sound. I like it for certain things for recordings but other than that   NO!

Jimmy, see if Saxoftenest on BYOC will let you know how he does his DPDT. He put it in his new microklone build (... yes, he fit the whole thing plus a buffer bypass in a 1590A ...).
