Title: Smoothie Question - add a level pot?
Post by: mlabbee on January 20, 2013, 07:21:53 PM
Would it be possible to add an effect level pot to the Smoothie?  If so, where would it go and what value would you use?  It looks to me like you would want to replace R15, right?  Would you use a 10k pot or something larger or smaller?  I'm assuming you'd want an audio taper, too, right?

throw it on the breadboard and give it a try
sometimes we learn from experimentation, sometimes we learn from failure

What do you mean "Level" pot? Do you mean the output volume or the effect volume?

If you want to add a pot that controls the amount of wet signal -- i.e. a mix or depth control -- here's one way: http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=5232.0

It's possible to JUST swap out R15 for a 10K pot, but it won't block as much wet signal as doing both R15 and R16 and it'll sound a little odd. Taper isn't important if you're just doing R15.

The effect is so minor anyway, the speed pot make is barely noticeable already

I'm looking to control the wet signal - that link looks like just what I'm looking for.  Thanks!
