This is a versatile tool for experimental leads, even if it doesn’t suit rhythm playing.
Offering just two pots, controlling volume and the gate threshold, as well as three switches, it’s straightforward but we had all the switches on all the time, so a tone pot instead of two filter switches might work better.
