    Hi,
    I’d like to represent the signal flow on the box itself, and I think I have some clear names for functions.
    Wondering if anyone had feedback/corrections on my plan. This is my fold-over drilling guide, hopefully self explanatory.  If I understand correctly, kill is the same as cutting the send. And the T-diddy boost (100% wet) is the same as loop only/no direct. I tried to represent the I/O breaking of the direct as a dashed line. Question: the loop is returned after the I/O, correct?
    Any feedback or suggestions? The layout is a bit dictated by physical constraints of the enclosure, so I actually put a lot of thought into clearing the jacks (not having the pots hit them, etc…) It would also be cool to know exactly where the phase switch is. I guess, in general, a block diagram of the Paramix would be really great.
    Thanks in advance,

    John

    The main effects loop occurs at the SEND and RETURN.  The IO and II are the additional external effects jacks that may be added.

    The Phase switch is located after the RETURN jack and before entering the final OPAMP IC1D.  It operates by selecting which input is used on the OPAMP.  See this on the schematic.

    Thanks – I see the phase switch on the schematic and that helps. I think I’ll leave it where it is on my knob/swich drilling as I think it will work best there.

    What are your thoughts on the footswitch labeling? (I am assuming that the P-ditty gives me the loop only/mutes direct) and the kill stops the loop <span style=”text-decoration: underline;”>send</span> but keeps the loop return active.

    Thanks again,

    John

    Use whatever makes sense to you.  You could make it as simple as WET BYPASS DRY.

    Can’t get any simpler than that!
