ok solved it...switch is fine.  I had IC5 in backwards so it was heating up and killing the effect.  All good now. gonna change D3&D4 to  1n34a to try and get more effect, but sounds pretty good already.

Also 3p4t switch is getting hot.  Smells like burning, but no smoke or anything.   Is this a bad switch?

Having same issue. Getting fuzz from one pot, but no effect from  4 way switch or sweep pot. Checked all resistor and cap values.  Any have same experience ?

Yes realized I had it backwards. Too many beers on the workbench ....

I'm just about to solder in the 3p4t switch rotary switch on the Honeydripper.  I notice that numbers and letters on the switch, which I purchased from Small Bear, don't exactly exactly line up with the numbers and letters on the board (pin 6 on the switch is going into hole #7 on board).  It fits perfectly this way and doesn't fit any other way.  Has anyone else noticed this? Do I have the wrong switch or is it just an error on the letters printed on the board?

Also added an spst kill switch to the DC jack.  This helps to save the light bulb.  The thing pulses all the time, even when you've got the unit in bypass.  The kill switch allows you to only power the bulb when you're going to use the effect. 

Yes I put 4.7 k in R46 also.  It did the trick!  When I had 47k in originally, the unit was very tame, barely producing  any effect. But after I swapped it for 4.7k, WOW !!!!  I was swimming in an ocean of glorious wavy univibe  tones. 
Had to take seasickness pills from the sloshing sounds. Groovy.....

oh, did not see the "b".   

Duh.     Thanks!

The 50k and 100k pots in the Harbinger One plans do not indicate if these pots are audio or liner.  I am assuming they are audio pots.  Let me know.....
