Take a look around this research https://www.marksescon.com/blog/2023/7/20/kintsugi I built one from the PPCB board and also couldn't get it sounding quite right. I ended up following some of the research from Mark's site

Did you say thank you?

I am trying to build a mosfet boost at the front of a Barbershop with this schematic. There is something goofy going on in my build, whereby setting the gain knob anywhere other than 0 causes the voltage at Q2 to go haywire (6.4V to 9.2V with sag off). I've reflown all the joints on the board...

Man I'm actually tempted to do another ssbs F*** overdrive with one of these. Theoretically you could dial in the strength of the sag effect

I recently built one of these pretty much to stock with the only difference being this final BJT I used a 2n3904 in place of the 2n2222, figuring it wouldn't make much difference. However, it ended up having much less gain than another one I built with the 2n2222. How critical is this part or...

Prices will not come down again. Number only go up

Great pedal. Mine is insanely loud, if I had a steeper audio taper volume pot I would use it. I like the red faceplate more than I thought I would

The enclosure is fire

I never understood why people wanted the tone switch to darken this

The demo is bonkers lmao. Sounds really good

I want more of a scoop. I'm assuming messing with C8 and C11 will do some of that. The taper also doesn't have much change between roughly 9 and 3 o clock, it's all bunched up at the extremes.

I'd like to try to modify this, what components should I be looking at?

I really like this one. I think it was called a preamp when it came out. It's replaced my micro amp + in my rig

So you're running this unbalanced after mic pre? I'm intrigued by this project

Did you use the 15n input cap? I'm building mine soon, was thinking of socketing it to taste
