    Introduction
    At first, it might look pretty similar to the Amp Tone stack + Gain recovery, as the first section looks pretty
    similar. Both start with the 3 band Amp tone stack and the Gain recovery stage. However, the first
    difference is the Presence control, located after the gain recovery stage and bounded with the Deep
    Control. This design also includes the possibility of having two simultaneous outputs as the Active EQ,
    featuring the same type of power output and tame output.

    Important! You should be able to read schematics to fully understand how and where to add these EQs in
    the best possible way.

    Components Recommendations
    As many people like to experiment with some pedals with higher voltage, always ensure
    your electrolytic capacitors' max tolerance is over 25v.

    This board has been tested using Film box capacitors for most of the values over 1nf and ceramics discs
    for those under 1nf. However, high-quality components such as Wima's Capacitors and Panasonic's
    electrolytics can deliver a better performance.

    All the resistors used for testing this project are 1/4W Metal Film.

    The BOM and Shopping list are exclusive regarding this project. It doesn't include all the hardware like the
    3PDT bypass switch, audio/dc jacks, enclosure, etc.

    Build Notes
    If this is one of your first projects, I recommend you to take a look at our Pedal Building Guide.

    For a successful and tidy build, it’s recommended the following order:

    1. Resistors & diodes


    2. Capacitors, starting with the smaller ones and the ceramic ones.
    3. Electrolytic capacitors (always check the polarity)
    4. Transistors
    5. Wires
    6. Potentiometers and switches
    7. Off-board wiring

    Wiring Diagram
    All our projects include a free 3PDT Board to make the wiring easier and tidier. Also, all of our PCBs feature
    the status LED on board.

    The pad named “Ctrl” or “LED” is the one that controls the status of the led; wire it to the “LED” pad on the
    3PDT board or in the control slug of your 3PDT.

    This board has been designed to match our EZ 3PDT PCB; check it here to access our Pedal Wiring Guide.

    Drill Template
    This Project has been planned to fit into a 125b enclosure type.

    Check the Attached “Drilling templates” to drill the box properly. The files are on Scale 1:1, ready to print
    on an A4 page.

    Licensing and Usage


    We really appreciate your trust and support in buying this PCB, as well as your will to dive into the DIY
    electronics world. For us, that's why you can make this project work properly and enjoy not only the building
    process but also experiment and play with it on your rig.

    We try to reply to every question we receive on our email or our social media. Still, we try to encourage all
    our customers to join our PCB Guitar Mania – Builders Group on Facebook to post all your doubts, issues,
    suggestions, or requests, share your builds, and have some feedback from other fellow builders and us!

    We tested all our projects following this same guide on their standard configurations. Although, not all of
    the variations and mods have necessarily been checked. These are suggestions based on the schematic
    analysis and the experiences and opinions of others. Feel free to share with us your views and
    recommendations regarding the mods your personal experimentation.

    These boards may be used for commercial endeavors in any quantity unless expressly noted. No attribution
    is necessary, though accreditation or a link back is always much appreciated.

    If you are a builder planning to make your own run of pedals, we also offer the service of custom-made
    boards with your brand and logo, design according to your specifications.

    The only usage restrictions are that, first, you cannot resell the PCB as part of a kit without prior
    arrangement with us, and second, you cannot scratch off the silkscreen or other way of trying to hide our
    logos and the source of the PCBs. Like it's written above, if you want to have your designs with your brand
    and logo, we could undoubtedly reach an agreement.

    Follow us on Instagram and Facebook to stay in tune with the latest projects!
