Hello!

I wanted to ask if its possible to use the Krankosaurus PCB without the Boost. And what i have to do to make that work.

Thanks!

Hey man... yes you can, they are independent circuits on the same pcb.
Looking at the project document's layout, just use the pads IN_D and OUT_D to connect to your 3PDT switch.   Use a regular wiring template rather than the Krankosaurus one.  http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=707.0

You wouldn't need to populate the boost components on the pcb either cause your not using them, check the schematic to see which part numbers are for the boost channel only and leave them out.  (Right hand box in the schematic drawing) 

Easier still you could buy a Boomstick, which is the boostless pcb of the krankosaurus anyway... based on the 'distortron' IIRC  http://www.madbeanpedals.com/projects/Boomstick/docs/Boomstick.pdf
