From the post
The original used jumpers and a 4 pole internal dip switch, but I've done this one with external switching in mind. 3 pots and 10 toggles, who's up for it? :) Alternatively take a leaf out of the original if you want to keep the size down and use a 10 pole dip switch like these, and mount it on an internal daughter-board. It should fit nicely in a 1590B.
Info about the original:
Jump on Fetto Standard when your guitar and amp can't ride the lightning on reasonable levels, when you need anything between clean to really distorted sounds—to convince your audience, band and girlfriend(s) that the sound isn't the reason why your music is boring.
Perfect string separation, all the way from smooth overdrive to heavy distortion. Never lose the character of your instrument or amplifier. Designed to match the volume control on your guitar perfectly. Most pedals sounds just like a pedal. Not the case with the Fetto's which sound like an extension of your amplifier. Have you heard this before? Well, this time it's true.
