I used to use them. Many many years ago they were kind of the diy/boutique standard. But the days of battery clips and building outside of the box are long gone.

Why? Do you measure and sort other components with broad tolerances, like pots? How would you even implement this knowledge? No commercial builder cares, why should you?

That's funny. I used the same 500v ceramics in my builds without seeing this first. They were the only 20n I had.

Spank me on the lass!

You'll be fine. This circuit is pretty slutty, it'll get along with just about anything. The advantage of rolling your own is that you can adjust the distance and angle of the LED/LDR combo to balance the response, unlike a vactrol which is fixed.

Gotcha😉. You like those chicks with deep voices🧔‍♀️.

For a one sided etched board with stranded wire I absolutely can see the benefit.

That is probably the answer that will make me stop asking why on this one. Thank you.

Ok. Thank you Robert. That is a choice I guess. But now my question is, what stress can that wire possibly be subjected to inside a metal box with no moving parts?!

I’ve got a question, and perhaps I’m missing something, but how does the circuit work with +v jumped to Ground?

Dunno. Maybe substitutions. I’ve build a couple of these now and I dig them. My customers praise them too. When I test pedals I use an Orange Terror and a Mosrite copy. The recording has a lot of reverb and compression that the pedal doesn’t make so I wonder if people are missing that part.
