Snarkdoodle Build

[aunchaki]

I'm going to build a Snarkdoodle over the holidays and have a few questions. There are three versions in the docs: Red Llama, Tube Sound Fuzz and a hybrid. The TSF and hybrid have a boost switch, the Llama does not.

Q1) If I'm building the Red Llama version (without switch), do I need to jumper anything to account for the missing switch? This version doesn't use R7. Do I need to jumper that with wire?

Q2) I like really simple pedals and don't need to melt wallpaper. Can I build the TSF or hybrid versions WITHOUT the switch? What would I leave out? (the switch and R7?)

Thanks!

Q3) are the two pots Audio or Linear taper?

Thanks!

If you don't use the switch there is is no need to jumper or include R7.  It's only used for the second switch position.  You will need to jumper pads 1 and 2 of the switch, although I can't really tell you which one is 1.  Honestly, I think you could jumper all three and it wouldn't matter as long as you didn't include R7.

The pots are both "B" or Linear.  Good luck!
