My two favorite combos for playing into my jcm 800 are a Lightspeed into a zendrive or a rangemaster into a cattledriver (buffalo fx td-x). The Lightspeed/zendrive has a great mid-gain sound when stacked. I think you could easily do hardcore punk with it but maybe not more modern, bro-y, chuggy...

The thing I struggle with in a thread like this is communicating use case. My favourites totally depend on context. The Cattle Driver and Rangefinder are my favourite pedals to put in front of an amp. They both sound bad with my recording/practice setup (either a Sunn Beta preamp into a UniCab...

I picked it up on a lark. The whole NOS Mitsubishi chip seemed interesting. The description made it sound like it would be carbon copy-ish. I still can't believe how much I like it. Really easy to dial in. It somehow manages to both fade into the background, providing a nice ambient sound, and...

Rangefinder into a cattle driver are my favorites for playing with a guitar into an amp. Pro-10 is extremely versatile. I usually use the bluesbreaker side with my baritone, the odr to compliment the brighter guitar tones I usually prefer. The Brown Betty is my favorite for recording. Usually...

I had the same noise issue when I built mine up. I tried different PT2399's. Nothing. I ended up using a mod that's floating around this board and soldered a green LED to pin 3 and 7 of the PT2399. I can't remember the explanation of why it works (and it seems like results vary) but it solved my...

Oh yeah you'll for sure shit your pants if you play an open chord. I leave a capo on the first fret at all times to prevent that. You've got 23 frets available still so no big deal. It only seems super low because you're thinking in guitar. I think it's pretty common to tune baritone's to b...

We're using a very similar setup! My Warmoth baritone jazzmaster is on the wall next to me (roasted maple neck, swamp ash body) although with Wolfetone humbuckers and a strat-style bridge. I was playing around with my bridge recently and ended up with a similarly high action. I play in drop g so...

I should have clued when I built a war scythe immediately after and it didn't need a 5457 for the green ringer part of the circuit. Those transistors were tough to source too (at least they were a year ago when I was still figuring out where to buy components) - I needed them for a mosfeta...

I figured this one out and thought I'd update just in case someone finds this thread in a search. Turns out you need to use the right transistor for a circuit to work. I foolishly stuck a 2n5457 where the 2n5087 should have gone. I didn't have a 2n5087 around and subbed a 2n3906. Now everything...

R4/R20: 4.1v R19/R21: 4.1v IC1.1: 4.1v The voltages don't change as I move the mix pot around its range. I also tried a different B10k pot. When I use my audio probe - with the mix turned completely clockwise I can only hear the wet signal on the left side of R19, nothing on R21. With the mix...

I tried a new pot, no change. Pulled the board out to make sure I wasn't grounding anything off on the case. I'm pretty sure that the issue is somewhere in this section of the schematic: I tried placing a jumper with a 15k resistor on R4 to see if I could bypass the section and get a dry...

I haven't, unfortunately. I have a growing pile of builds that need to debugged but the amount of effort it takes to fix is so much greater than just building something new (I ended up sticking a green ringer in a DRV clone and called it close enough). I was going to start with Chuck's...

I've been trying to troubleshoot this one to no avail. I'm getting a strong dry signal up to R4. At R20 the volume drops. It's faint at the mix pot. After the mix it's gone - no audio (wet or dry) is passing. I made a questionable choice when I drilled the enclosure, totally forgetting that the...

I'm thinking it might be transistor/s, not the diodes. The readings that I put up look very wrong. My son likes to play with my multimeter, so it's possible that my weird readings may be related to that, but there are three transistors passing ~9v and it's my understanding this is very wrong. I...

As far as I can tell. I originally had 1n34a diodes but swapped in Schottky diodes to see if that was the issue. It wasn't. I'm also pretty sure the orientation is correct. After reading so many threads on troubleshooting I would feel foolish if that were the problem. I referenced the...

I've read through a litany of Parentheses troubleshooting threads and I haven't quite been able to sort out the issue I'm having - as I turn my octave pot clockwise it cuts my volume. As far as I can tell I've got my resistors in the correct locations. Here's what my transistors are reading...
