@Robert did this project get shelved? It was one I thought of when I was looking for another distortion to build

I love the enclosure color and the knobs together. Nice job.

There's a video where Ola Englund used one in his effects loop and compared it to putting it on front of the amp. It sounds much better in the effects loop. I think I've also heard of people plugging into the Metal Zone and plugging it straight to the return of the effects loop, bypassing the...

C11 is going to get 18v, so 16v won't be enough. C22 is going to get 15v, but I still wouldn't stick a 16v cap there. I usually use 35v rated electrolytics in the power section even if I'm not planning on running higher than 9v, just in case I (or anyone) uses a 18v power supply on accident...

Dude, very nice work! That sucks about the burnt up leg, but shit happens. I have an MXR Studio Compressor which is supposed to be 1176 style. I wonder how they compare? I greatly prefer it to the Dyna comps I've had because it really just sounds more natural (or at least not as obvious as the...

Maybe a better idea is to have the blend set so the clean and dirty signals are evenly mixed at the summing op amp and make the clean side a clean boost that you can increase the gain/volume on before it hits the summing op amp. That would probably make a fine additive clean blend since you're...

I think it would be enough to stop the signal entirely, but I'm not 100% sure. With R12 being 10k, the value of R11 and the Clean pot would have to be 10k to get unity gain through the summing op amp. I'd test it out and probably use a b25k to start off with now that I'm thinking about it. It...

You could just run it go ground instead, throw a cap after lug 2. Probably get some wiper noise if you don't have a cap before the pot: Alternatively you could do it like this (just spitballing the c25k value of the pot).

I haven't built it, but that Width control on the Karen looks interesting. Since it and the resistor it's hooked up to in series are in parallel with the drive pot, it's controlling the overall gain range. Reminds me of when I was messing with the OCD type circuit on my breadboard and I had an...

Very VERY nice!

Buddy, you've built a bunch of these Devi circuits on your breadboard. Have you ever tried wiring the input pot more conventionally (input to lug 3, lug 2 to the circuit input, lug 1 to ground)? One of the first fuzz pedals I built on vero was a Soda Meiser and it sounded awesome, but that input...

There should be heaps of gain on the B channel. It's got a linear 1meg pot and the resistor to ground that sets the gain with it is 1k. Did you do any mods?

You don't have to use a polarized cap on that portion of the fuzz face circuit. An unpolarized cap like a polyster film capacitor or ceramic will allow the circuit to function. The thing is using a smaller valued capacitor there will change the sound. It's not about the construction in that...

This? https://docs.pedalpcb.com/project/Super64.pdf

I don't know that there is or was a standardized way of specifying which leg is which on a potentiometer on a schematic. If you know how the pot behaves either increasing or decreasing resistance you can figure it out (using legs 1 to 2 increases resistance, using lugs 2 to 3 decreases...
