I'm assuming you've adjusted the pot on the treadle?

Hardwire the power switch to on. It uses transistor switching,

Have you tried manually wiring the input/output of the effect and using a 3PDT?

Blame 3:15am in the morning.

Yeah. I meant what you said. I haven't worked on any of those since I found out. Dano took down his guide around the same time, so the memory was a bit sketchy, especially at 3:15am

I think you've got it. I'd still add the polarity diode. Just in case. Should also help with static discharge on IC's

it's a fairly straightforward operation, and time consuming to do "right"

Hardwire the effect switch to always on.
Hardwire the power switch to on. It uses transistor switching, so replace the pcb mounted switch with leads from a momentary switch of your choice. Replace the 9v input jack with our standard. Remove and rewire the led. You might move the pots off the board as well and convert them into standard ones. They follow resistor code... A103 = A100k and so on and so on. Upgrade the input and output jacks. Use a regular 3pdt switch and standard wiring to convert to true bypass.

Get a new enclosure - finish and drill the appropriate holes, rock it before you box it, and then do so.

It's a LOT of work on a $25 pedal, that he's spent $40 in mods and shipping on.

Clearly I've done a few of these, but not in a while. I don't work on anything Danelectro anymore. I don't support hate and the owner does. I know he's got his money already, etc etc. I feel better not working on them, and letting people know why.

Edit: added correct info

I love those things. I'm using some one on a couple of JMK's boards. They were cheaper than 1/8w from Digikey

Maybe because you know if Steve charged $10.00 in shipping he actually paid someone a decent wage (in NY!) to pack it

You'll want this and these

Then you'll do this:

The left one has the fat engaged. The right one shows a storage position if you don't like it. The same can be done with the bright switch, and you can store the jumper N/S if you like. I personally like to have the bright as a switch like you have configured yours. And before you ask - the blue jumpers came from here They're more expensive, and therefore increase the mojo.

The Pilsner of course.

We have successfully determined the next project!

For the fat switch, I sometimes put a pin header on the inside of the box.  That way, you still have the option but don't need an external toggle.

Very nice looking build.

I will second this:

The 2 of these I've built in the past - I used header for both bright and fat.
RE the hype - one had a request for the burr brown. Side by side, my buddy preferred the 4558 and knew it to be the burr brown. Convinced there was something wrong with the circuit the burr brown was in, I swapped chips between the two for him. He took the 4558 an hour later. 

Goodbye Farewell and Amen.

Not new. Certainly dated. Still a classic

Don't get me wrong, I have a schecter diamond series with hum buckers too. Looking to play some blues and learn to play some blues in guitar.

Jimi - that thing has volume knobs. HB's rolled back through tubes sound
AAHHH-MAAAAAY-ZINNNNG

Then when you need to you can roll the knob up, get some hair on it, dig in and get some STANK.

Farndurk had something like this on the bench. I dunno what became of it. A switched jack connecting the pot and the expression pedal ought to do it.

While I feel like I could say this from just about anything pedal related, I'm fairly certian RG Keen wrote something on the matter.

  Where the heck did you order them from? 
So I never do.

As long as everything has a ground connection it's good.

All ground points on a board are connected, so only one gnd connection is quite fine.

Hey hey hey, I see what you're doing....I already been looking at them.  I have a 1x10 right now I can use, if I don't like the way it sounds, that will be next. Did you get your wah running? Sounds awesome with a terrible torroid inductor from how Gagan. I change q1 to stock though, it has more wah

I'm not quite done playing with my Weener(Wah) yet. I do think I know exactly how it's gonna go now. Need to drill the enclosure this weekend to add the Rotary, power, the extra jack, and the led. I have the purple devil and Joe's pot for mine. Not gonna get it finished this week.
