Ok, so I read through all the previous replies several times and I think I get it…
Are these statements correct?
1. Lugs 2 and 5 of the toggle need to be wired in parallel with R12 (or C8). Would another way to accomplish this be to wire R12 across lugs 2 and 5 of the switch and have wires also come out of those lugs to the R12 pads on the board? If so, what are your thoughts on wiring it this way?
2. I do not need to create an additional connection coming out to the R12/Pin6 connection point, as per MBs reply.
3. This soft-clipping mod adds soft clipping into the FB loop, but DOES NOT remove the hard clipping from the circuit when soft clipping is selected. In other words the Hard Clipping is always active.
Thanks!

Just an observation:
The added resistor and cap is not needed. You already have this combo attached to the gain pot, except it's connected to VB instead of ground (which is perfectly acceptable).
Ah, great--I thought that might be the case but I wasn't sure. Thanks for clarifying, Bean!

Also, you could just use a center off SPDT to switch between two pairs of diodes since you only need to lift one end of each pair.
Good point. I just used what had been shown on the GuitarFX vero diagram.
