Cornish SS-2

Pete's highly acclaimed Overdrive/Distortion box of the stars.  The original obviously includes the Cornish buffered bypass switching which isn't shown here as it is assumed most people will use the usual 3PDT mechanical bypass.

But if you do want to build it like Pete, then make a daughterboard of the Cornish Buffer.  The input socket connects directly to the input of the bypass buffer.  The output of the bypass buffer then goes to SS-2 input and daisy chains to the 3PDT stomp switch, lugs 1 and 4.  The output from Volume 2 of the SS-2 will go to 3PDT lugs 3 and 6, and the output socket connects to 3PDT lugs 2 and 5.

The third pole of the 3PDT is used for LED switching as usual.

Info from Cornish about his very expensive and much sought after stompbox:
The Pete Cornish SS-2™ satisfies a tremendous void in the Musicians palette of tone colors. Totally different from any overdrive/distortion effect that has ever been previously available; it is amazingly responsive to changes in both Guitar volume and picking articulation. It has the best “bottom end retention” ever heard in an effect, whilst the mid-range is sweet and very transparent. The SS-2™ retains all the tonal nuances of your guitar and is subtle and yet capable of amazing power and sustain. Using the SS-2™ with a clean amp it is possible to progress from subtle overdriven amp sounds, through rhythmic crunch, up to a blues' lead. The tonal characteristics and dynamics of the guitar are maintained even when using this pedal at its maximum gain.
