I see. When you say bias correctly, since there is no trimmer on this PCB your talking about having the correct leakage range on the transistors to elicit the proper voltage? Also, in post #9 of this thread @DeadAirMD reports a great sounding pedal using GT402's from SBP which on their page...

What is the right hfe for the pedal? I have a "3 Knob Tone Bender Set" I bought from Small Bear that are about 55, 78 & 95. Do they need to be higher?

I just used one in the Sushi Box King Nothing and there is no biasing. Here is what the TC1 said when I measured it before insertion. Idss=0.36m Id=0.22mA @Vg=150mV ID=0.00MA Id=644mV Does any of that tell us anything?

They pictures are the same item, etching with printing in the grooves. I got them from Guitar PCB. The troubleshooting thread turned out to be a backwards diode but someone pointed out that the J201 maybe didn't look legit. For my M800 I bought the PedalPCB pre-soldered SMD ones so, I'm...

It came up in a Troubleshooting thread I started that the J201 transistors I have been using might not be real. I have used these in s few builds and the pedals have worked, so I guess the issue is that the transistors I have been using might be not performing to the actual specs. Are these real?

I have tried my King Nothing with a couple different amps and guitars. I socketed C3 & C4 to experiment with less bass but I think I might like to hear it with more! At the highest Gain toggle setting and the center position on the Lows, it's pretty trebley/thin. Would raising the value of C3...

Great thanks! Did you try a A5k also?

Curious, does something closer to 240k or closer to 1M do more taming of the volume?

Interesting idea! I've never done it but I've seen some great looking polished enclosure on this forum.

I see. I wouldn't necessarily mind if I marred the powder coat, maybe, most of the face would be covered with a new white water slide, similar to the Mahayana linked above.

About that option. It is the Mahayna and the enclosure looks exactly like the one linked below. Could I sell one? I've never looked into what is legal and not legal about selling. https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/mahayana-drive.17420/

I have an "finished" enclosure that I was going to use for a gifted pedal, then the gift-ee requested his own design. I want to use it on a future build. It is black powdered coated and has a water slide decal applied, with several layers of Rustoleum matte clear over the whole thing. I would...

Thanks @vigilante398 for contributing to this thread. Had a chance last night to give the pedal a try. Pretty great pedal!!

You got that right!!! Thank you!
