Help with wiring DE Aenima DIY kit

Post by DarkNDubby »

Hi everyone, I am new to the board and a total noob DIY'er (an addict just the same).

I am trying to wire up a Devi Ever Aenima with true byspass using the Devi Ever DIY kit with a couple additions. I wanted to add a starve/ voltage sag control as well as a stutter control (both I referenced schematics from Beavis Audio (starve: http://beavisaudio.com/Projects/DBS/ & stutter:http://beavisaudio.com/projects/StutterPedal/index.htm). I also followed the Beavis way of wiring for true bypass stompboxes. And I am trying to follow the directions from the kit (here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/71438057/tp-pcb-diy-kit-tp-ae-nd-us-dh-and-dn-but and http://www.deviever.com/fx/forum/viewtopic.php?f=222&t=13486).

Here is what I mocked up:

I was hoping someone could chime in here. I am struggling with one part in particular, kit instructions say to wire lug 2 of tone control to footwitch, but i'm not sure where that would go. Can someone help demystify this for me? Also, does the rest of the wiring look like it's in order? Thanks to anyone who can chime in an help a brother out.

I'm thinking it just means to solder lug 2 to gnd...I'm otherwise not sure why its going to the footswitch. Not an expert though, hopefully someone else can comment on this. Welcome to the forum, BTW, and happy DIYing!

I found an aenima schematic from 2009 and it looks like lug 2 of tone control is the input to your circuit from footswitch, if you forgo the first 0.1uf cap,:

Lugs 1 & 3 are two different input caps, so you should not have another input to the board besides the in1 and in3 from the tone pot on your drawing. The tone pot just acts to give you all one input cap/ all the other input cap/ or mix of both.

Thanks a bunch. I figured it out and it works! I rearranged the wiring based off a wiring diagram someone else had posted on the net. Thanks soundboy and tourist for the help.
