- Well . . I have thought of a few solutions to this problem. Some are a little
- hard to implement but the quickest fix would be to use a ganged pot for a comb-
- ination intensity output level control and to use a DPDT switch for the lead/
- rhythm control. Then put an output dividing circuit on the other side of the
- switch to cut output when you switch into lead. I myself will look at some
- basic circuit mods to add tone control and better output level control.
-
- It's good to see interest in this, I'll most likely post my improved design in
- a couple of weeks.
