3 knob Tonebender/schematic or layout correct?
I was noticing that the schematic and the layout have one of the 10K resistors in the tone section connected different. Which is correct?  
My image was made from RGs schematic(I hope I didn't violate any copyright infringement). It will be removed as soon as I get an answer (or sooner if you ask). The layout is from http://www.green-fuz.freeserve.co.uk/tb_lyt.html. Got both from arons site.  
Thanks,  
jason

Good question. I'll check my original tracing materials, which I keep. I can remember thinking that the tone control arrangements didn't make a lot of sense when I traced it. It nagged at my sense of what circuits should do.  
 
I also did a layout for the TB3, I'll look at that as well.  
 
Can you check with the layout maker of the layout you used to see if they independently traced a pedal or just used my schematic?

I just opened up and checked my original Tonebender. The schematic is the correct wiring.

Thanks John!  
I'll remove those drawings RG.  
Aron, you may want to make note of that on your web page.  
Thanks to you both.

Oops
Sorry about that - I didn't pick up the error because it still works. I always wondered why my copies were louder than the original...  
 
I will fix it ASAP.

The original schematic that RG did. I'm curious about Stuart's comment about his copies being LOUDER (sorry I'm shouting!). We always like that don't we?
