I couldn't figure out "Sw1" on Adapt's vero, so I conceived my own TONE-BYPASS, based on EHX's, for the layout.

The following tone bypass has been verofied by Alamondm...

With "Sw1" as per the vero, note lower case "w",
and "SW#" with a capital "W" repping the DPDT...
DPDT:
1 4
2 5
3 6


- Remove from vero Tone2 Wire — but other end still attached to the tone-pot.
- Take tone-pot2's wire and run it to SW6 lug of DPDT on-on toggle.
- From SW5, run a wire to the Vero where Tone2 was previously attached.
- Vero's "Sw1" wire (still attached to vero) runs to SW2, and...​

Top right of 3n9 is a hole, cut the trace right of it between the hole and the 100n. Needs to be a hairline cut, as once soldering there is a chance of bridging it. Alamondm succeeded where I would've slopped solder all over it — so I would...
- Move both 100n & 15k on the right of the 3n9 over one hole to the right, the 15k sharing holes with the jumpers.
- Make the trace cut where the north end of the 100n was, to the right of the hole that's right of the 3n9, right!
- In the hole to the right of the 3n9 (there's a 470k above the needed hole) attach a wire...
- Run that right-of-3n9 wire right to SW3.
- Lastly, attach a 150k resistor between SW1 & SW4.​

Depending on your build and its part tolerances, you may experience a small boost in volume in tone-bypass mode. Adjust resistance to taste — bumped, dropped, unity.



Instead of DPDT, you could make it a 3PDT stomper, with the 3rd pole for an indicator LED, and swap out the resistor with a trimmer or pot.


Head 'm off at the tone-bypass, banditos et banditas.
