Thanks! And yeah, it's not ideal but the pedal doesn't seem any more noisy than it should be.

The other Rullywow board I got and a significant step up in terms of complexity. Though honestly, the component soldering aspect of pedal building is the easiest for me, it's the wiring that gives me pains! Which as you can see: this one became a bit of a spaghetti monster due to the switches...

I was actually looking at that one the other day. Definitely have a new class of pedals to be checking out. I always kind of glossed over boosts but I can see that I have been wrong.

The Duocast looks interesting, I'll add that one to the list. I think this is actually the first boost I've ever used, definitely different from an Overdrive and it really kicks my G20 in the arse.

#2's up with a quick one I grabbed along with a Tubescreamer I want to put together (that's next). The build itself wasn't much on this one but it took a little finagling to get the enclosure setup how I wanted it since the board was designed to fit in a smaller enclosure with side jacks. I've...

Got a few extra knobs and swapped out that B1M tone pot for a C500K. Along with a mod that replaced one of the resistors with an extra gain pot, you can really dial in a pretty wide range of grit now. The tone knob on the other hand, proved to be an endless source of befuddlement as the...

I actually tried that at least three different ways, even tested the resistance of the pot to make SURE it was reading right after the resistor was installed and just wasn't hearing much (if any) difference. I think I've just got a bad pot. I have a few things on order for this project and the...

Appreciate that 😅 Definitely going to be experimenting with different types of wires. I did not enjoy working with the kind I got.

It was a mistake! It's where it belongs now :ROFLMAO:

I'd never played through one before and I quite like it. Definitely going to be tinkering with the pots to see if I can get a little more usable range out of it but it's a nice sounding circuit.

Huh. Tried it both ways and neither seems to change very much. I'm actually wondering if it's just a bad pot on top of anything else. Feels very loosey goosey compared to pretty much any other pot I have nearby. Probably will just get an extra C500k for it the next time I order parts.

Alright so do I stick the resistor across the lugs on the same side I soldered them to the board or on them before they hit the board?

I've got a few picked out that I want to do but I forced myself to assure that I could make the horse move before I went and bought a cart :ROFLMAO:

I think it actually got put there on accident That look good and from what I read of the soild wiring the main complaint was easy breakage. I figure I did most of the wiring on this with the parts already mounted so that wouldn't be much of an issue.

Gotta start somewhere! I used spray paint and a stencil :geek:
