This thread has piqued my interest in this board. I looked at the schematic and found this. Can someone please tell me what's going on here with SW1? What are Q5 and Q6 doing here?

Thanks! I’ll try this out. Sounds like what I’m looking for

Haha I feared that may be the case. I guess I’ll just live with the muffled fuzz. It is great at creating a powerful sense of dread.

Hello everybody. I built a hyped fuzz and think it’s great. At least one on the fuzz modes is fantastic. I’m not sure which is which but the s cons fuzz mode de is really muffled. It sounds like someone is playing in another room and the bass/treble pots don’t help much. Has anyone experienced...

I’m curious too. I have a surplus of pedals I have built that I don’t need.

Thanks Robert. I’ll give this a try.

Hello everyone. I’ve been building a lot of chorus pedals lately and most seem to have a rate led which I like. This has me thinking whether a rate led is possible on the Viib? I built one of these a while ago and love it but would like to add a rate led. Does anyone know how I could do this...

Hey. Well I didn't modify the blues breaker PCB, I used EasyEDA to make my own version based on the mods suggested in this thread. Here is my schematic. Looking at the pro 2 schematic, it looks like you could replace R10 with a trimpot and add a capacitor between the trimpot and Vref. C7 in...

I’m sure it would work in the top and bottom positions, but the middle position either won’t work or will be weird. If you are desperate to try it out, but the switch on wires so you can play it while you wait for the right parts to come.

I found having r22 as a trim pot made it incredibly difficult to get the sag right. 1k5 was right for me. What colour is d1? I found it didn’t work unless the led was yellow. Also is d1 lit up constantly for you? I put trim 1 and threshold on full, turn the gain down and it sags well...

The muroida distortion is the original rat. Buy that pcb and you should be sweet.

I built this this afternoon and can confirm that a 2n2905a transistor works and sounds fantastic. Thanks @HamishR for the suggestion. No need to buy a germanium transistor! I’m not sure whether it sounds like the original or not but it sounds great nonetheless especially at 27 (or whatever...

I have had a similar problem with my Univibe that I built (largely stolen from the electrovibe). Turns out I used 47uf caps in the lfo section instead of 1uf. Are you absolutely sure your lfo caps are the right value? If the value is too high it won’t pulse.

Thanks. I can’t take credit for the subtitle - I took it from the prunes and custard itself. I agree, it needed something more on the box to let me know what it did. I think the font is futura bold that I stretched a little. I can’t check unfortunately as my computer is in the shop after having...

I'm so glad you did this build report. I had no idea this existed but I think it sounds amazing. Going to make one ASAP.
