For those who have built the TC-15, which settings on the Contour control on Channel 1 do you find yourself using most? Which ones could you do without? If you could only have three choices, which would they be?

I'm going to build one out of an old organ amp, and it's questionable whether there is going to be enough room for the rotary switch with all the caps sticking out of it, so I'm thinking about just using a toggle switch to give me three settings and putting the caps and resistors either on the main board or possibly on a little ancillary board screwed to the side of the chassis.

You can build a compact one if you are very careful but on-board pr a second board or is fine to.

If just three positions, I'd go with 1, 3, & 6.

OK, so .01 uf, .0022 uf, and 360 pf? Thanks.

Is this something that a mini-toggle switch can handle, or do I need a beefier one like the power and standby switches? (I'd like to at least preserve the option of pulling the toggle switch out and replacing it with a rotary switch, so I don't want to put a 1/2" hole in the panel if I don't have to.)

Mini toggle switch is fine.

How much voltage is there on the caps on this control?

Thanks

It's on the cathode so less than 1.5V
