Quadruple check your dual-ganged pot. If you can fit it, get tape over as much of the legs as possible. I build a Klon years ago and had the same issue, more or less. With Klon builds 80% of the time it’s the dual-gang grounding out every time…

Was that always there? I could have sworn there were no build docs the other day…

Can I has the schematic for the Overcast Fuzz?…

TIL Josh Scott invented Fuzz into a crunchy amp…

Bit out of left field, but try the Topographer Distortion…

Ima order something this weekend (maybe) as a thank you for going the distance with that goop jawn. Now, have you heard of this thing called "build docs"?...

I believe this is true if you are talking about the standard version. But I believe the earlier version, which were installed inside pedal steel guitars, utilized Ge. These circuits are a bit smoother, and fart out easier than the normal version…

Are you running into a clean amp? The Distortion+ style drives are designed to push an amp over the edge, not so much to create variable distortion out of nothing…

I’m a bit skeptical after digging a bit… This is a paragraph from the product page. Kinda reads like an African Prince wrote it. It is also written in the future tense, leading me to believe that the pedal doesn’t exist and is just a theory. I’m sure once people pay up front they’ll start...

Nutmeg, probably…

Sounds pretty good. I’d build in on vero, prolly…

If you want to stick with it (circuits from scratch) get stripboard. “Vero” is a brand name that has become synonymous with stripboard. Veroboard = stripboard. There are tons of layouts all over the place. I recommend starting small (boost, simple fuzz) in order to learn the technique… A few...

Another way of looking at it is trying to replicate the results, but not the exact circuit. I’m thinking a simple preamp into a Twin-tuned EQ section, into a boost/compression section that replicates what the “mod” is doing on the Beatles Twin…

Josh Scott makes it look SOOOO FUN, though…

In the following video, a guy that talks like a Convict explains how the Beatles got the Get back tone. TLDW; resistors off the cathodes of the power amp into a feedback arrangement. Supposedly implemented to tame the attack of a Twin (a low E through a cranked Twin hits like Ivan Drago) it...
