Q's about sola sound TB mark II

well its either build the mk II or the 3 knob tone bender, but im assuming the 2 knob one is better by your posts. am i right in that there is no pcb or parts layout diagrams for this one. should i just wire it up like the schematic, maybe point to point it. also, how do you orient the 100k trim b/w the 470ohm, 8.2k, and .01uf cap. just wanted to make sure i do it right. thanks for your help!
best,
chuck

aron	The Mark II is better I think. I have built both and am really happy with the Mark II. I wired it on perfboard, no problems at all. 470 ohm to one outer lug. The wiper connected to the other outer lug and that lug connected to the 8.2K and .01uF. Aron

jason	Is there a schematic for the old 2 knob floating around anywhere? Thanks, jason

aron	Look on my web site in the schematics page - Colorsound. Tone Bender Professional Mark II.

jason	Is that the old one as used by Page and such? Thanks aron, jason

aron	I guess so. There's so much debate over what they actually used. This circuit is right in there in terms of when and what it looks like. Note that I like the modded version, not the stock version. Aron

Stuart	Is that the old one as used by Page and such? Yeah, JP can be seen using one on the '68 Danish TV performance. Sounds like the same thing on JP's Yardbirds stuff, and Beck's later Yardbirds recordings. I have a hand-drawn PCB layout if anyone wants it.
