DIP switch clarification

[MixGtrz]

Hi All.

New member and beginner BYO pedal guy here. I’ve only built two pcb-based pedals so far (Angry Charlie clone and Crunch Box clone – by other supplier).
About to start the T-Drive kit but having trouble finding a clear-cut description on the DIP switch operation. eg: 1 On / 2 Off = ???, 2 On / 1 Off = ???, 1 & 2 On = ???, etc you get the picture. I’m also unclear on what the “factory” default position would be. Have done a forum search but not finding what I’m looking for.

I’ve been doing guitar mods and repairs for years, so I’m not a complete numpty…but not 100% fluent in reading schematics.
Any advice or direction to information is appreciated.

Thanks,
Mick

Welcome to the forum MG. Here is a good explanation right from the designer himself. Happy building.

Thanks Playsforfun! That’s exactly what I needed.
I’m contemplating an external switch instead of the DIP, but not 100% there yet.
I’ve seen some other posts detailing the wiring for it. More research to come!

Cheers,
Mick
