The fuzz has that touchy, ride-your-volume-knob thing going on—roll it back and it cleans up without getting thin, dig in and it just rips. Kick the VIBE in and suddenly everything gets that chewy, s…Read more

• SW1 UP: 10k (150k shorted). This is the fastest release time.
• SW1 MIDDLE: 10k + 150k in series which is the longest release.
• SW1 DOWN: 10k + 39k (which is in parallel to the150k) is medium attack.

Hope this helps…

I just wait 48 hours and then clear coat it with (rattle can) lacquer. I have found out that if I don’t wait the 48 hours, sometimes, not always though, the decal will wrinkle up. And then the enclosure has to be stripped and the process started all over.
