Ok, revisited this the other night and went over everything again. Looks like I accidentally connected the ground wire to the ring on the input side and I feel real dumb. That cleared up the hiss with the octave engaged. The reaper side is still a little noisy, but I'd wager thats down to the...

Mine sounds great, but unity volume doesn't seem to arrive until around 4:00. Any values I could change to increase that a little?

Sorry for the delay. Need to adjust my notification settings. Added some photos of the octave section of the main pcb and daughterboard. When I took it apart again today, I found two small wisps of stranded wire that looked to be touching the pads next to each. But cleaning those up didn't seem...

I'm sure this is probably something obvious, but I'm still in the paint by numbers phase of assembling these things. Put together a War Scythe a few months back, but didn't spend much time with it until yesterday. Both the Hoof and Tone Reaper sound great on their own, however when you add the...

Did you ever get resolution to this issue? I'm currently wiring mine up, but curious if I may need to watch out for anything.

My order from their sale in June arrived yesterday, which reminded me about the rate LED issue. Looking forward to the cyber wolf now!

Understood. I've not had much luck finding info or others who have completed this one, and my last note to Nell went unanswered so thought I'd ask.

Regarding the speed indicator LED... from the gutshot it looks like you had the anode wired to the associated pad on the PCB. Nell's build doc mentioned the design was messed up and wouldn't work when set up in that fashion. Did it work when you had it wired that way? I've tried the revision...

I ran mine around the board but still get the whoosh at higher settings. Guessing KreoPensas is correct that it's just the price of admission.

Makes sense. Although mine ended up with wayyy too much whoosh. Didn't matter the settings, it dominated the output. Sure enough, tried changing the 4558 from the cheap Tayda part to one I got from GPCB and it quieted way down. Pretty much as airbud described. Now it sounds great.

Did you manage to work out what was causing the "whooshing" sound? Just finished putting this one together and I get the same result, but seem to get it through all settings, not just maxed. Going to try another 4558 than the one I got from Tayda, but sounds like that didn't make much difference...

Went with a 1590bb I had intended for something else... the copper hammer finish sounded like how I imagine an asteroid would look. It's been a few years but I don't recall having any trouble getting everything to fit. Maybe you could cram it into a 125b in a different orientation, but I'm...

Did you end up trying this yourself? I've got a Duocast board in my to-do pile but no box... hoping I could just go 1590BB2 pre-drilled by Tayda rather than getting a Gorva and making a dog's dinner of it with my unsteady drill work.

I just adjusted the trimmer to taste. What usually trips me up with these sort of builds is using sockets. Not sure if your build included them (I wanted to try different transistors in this case), but 90% of the time if the fuzz is too quiet or something seems off, it ends up being sockets not...

Yea, he responded a few months after I had already figured it out. No big deal. While a little disorganized, Nils is a super nice guy and the stuff he makes is a lot of fun to put together. This was also about 2 years ago, and from his IG posts it looks like he's got someone else helping him...
