Simplified some of the controls a bit. Removed extra volume, klled the piezo disc in neck pocket idea, would need a powered preamp, the volume is just too damn low. Really want to make this passive. I have guitars with active electronics but I never play them because I’m too lazy to drive and buy some 9 volts, just kills the inspiration. Need to sell my active electronics guitars lol.

Removed 3rd cap switch up top. Added a push/pull bourns volume that acts as a blower switch aka, fender passing lane that acts kind of like a channel selector footswitch. User can set desired distortion on amp, and set a lowered volume to roll off distortion to sound cleaner. User doesn’t have to tap dance to change channel. Easier to thumb dance. Blower switch can also act as a kill switch when volume set all the way down. So there are technically 3 kill switches now. Added a tesi 16mm stainless steel, no popping kill switch. Tesi also had other colors I was tempted to buy but they were zinc coated. They looked amazing but I feel the stainless steel will last longer. May add a killswitch latching mode button to toggle switch to normally off and so sound only comes out when pressed. But it’s getting crammed in there.

I do like this electronics setup. Very expressive. Can blend different sounds with the cap switch and the volume switches. The passive distortion switch may need tweaking I ordered 100 schottky low voltage ones from mouser. This guy on instructables used four to get better gain. He got into it with an EE sounding, at least sound like one. https://www.instructables.com/Passive-Guitar-Overdrive-Black-Ice/

Volume switch will have tone bleed mod also. Kind believe no guitar company has put a killswitch in their guitars. From my research. The switches sell like hotcakes. I know fender used the passing lane on higher end models. But why not put these tools in lower end models, It really isn’t that expensive. I bought 10 bourns push/pull pots from The Art of Tone.
