Rotary Capacitor Switch

The input caps on some old circuits like the Fuzz Face, Tone Bender, or Rangemaster are ripe for variation. Here's a board that will allow you to switch between 6 different capacitors of your choice. You could also use this for a Gibson Varitone-like switch on a guitar. As with the Rotary Clipping Switch layout, use a 26mm enclosed 2 pole 6 position PC mount rotary switch (preferably from Alpha as their datasheet is what I used to layout the switch pads), mounted from the component side.
