1. Gain, all the way up, and Texture all the way down.
2. Gain, all the way up, and Texture all the way up.
So, it would be nice to have the Texture pot on a switch, instead of the gain pot. Even cooler, would be to have a mini-toggle switch that would set the 2nd footswitch to bypass either the Gain or the Texture pot. Anyone know how to do any of this?
the footswitch wiring for bypassing the texture control (what you want to do) is exactly the same as the gain bypass. So, you can add a DPDT toggle to have the footswitch working either the standard gain control (2 spots on the board) or have the footswitch bypass the texture pot; you'd just need to add two additional wires to the texture pot and send those to the DPDT.

not too crazy but i think it can clean up some higher gain settings.
worth at least trying out (maybe directly at the power source so you dont have to cut the trace)
Actually, i found the starve to add a lot of grit and fuzz to the sound; it lowers the volume just a hair, but there's still a ton of volume left. use a 2k pot, it will shut off after about 3/4ths of the way but there's some cool sounds in there.

It basically just shuts off. no cool oscillation or anything.
tis shoegaze heaven. I think it may replace the Supercollider on my board to be honest. When using the Supercollider, it tends to send me towards a more doomy depressing sound and way of playing. The Fingerprint/Snowflake seems to inspire more melodic playing which is what I want to do more of. It may be just a tad too trebly but nothing I can't live with
