DEFX in a 125b!? What is this heresy!? Good looking build. Loving the aesthetics.

Thanks. I mean a red crayon and lettering and I’d be…….cease and desisted 🤣. Meh on the pile it goes maybe to be played every once in awhile, maybe to be sold. Maybe you will find it more to your liking.

Different strokes for different folks. Hot take: I never got along with the Dung Beetle either and it is a pretty well lauded fuzz box around here.

Thanks man. Def keeps me from going down the road of the peavey pre pedals etc. if I want to sound like shit I’ll just go spend the $50 at musicgoround and then Office Space the MF’er after 5min

And we keep stepping in it

Not sure why this is even a thing. Who asked for this or more appropriately what interview identified this as the “secret sauce” to someone’s famous tone? Whatever. There are some sounds in here that aren’t terrible, but the amount of parts compared to ROI is incredibly disproportionate. I did...

What transistors are you using for Q2/3?

Yeah, I have it 90% populated just waiting on Tayda for a few “out in my stock” parts. 💯 this

After listening to the jhs demos I had this filed under “why the F did I buy this PCB!?” and then I saw a unicorn Harry Klippton build report and had a brief moment of hope. “If Harry took the time to build it surely it has some redeeming value.” Sadly I am back to my original thoughts after...

I def don’t know even a 1000th of what Chuck does ab circuits, but I know that any tone tone stack has the potential to lose volume and I would presume that if you are losing volume there then the buffer isn’t going to actually bring it back up, it’s just going to buffer what is going into it...

Placed a $162 order yesterday (resistors, caps, pots, boxes, a few NE555s, the works. Cost to ship DHL express was $48. Still worth it for ease of finding what I need vs mouser even though I still have to order a few things through them.

You could try strapping a small capacitor across the power jack terminals. Try 100pf. Make sure your grounding is good. You could try shielded in/out wire with the shield grounded. Probably not a whole lot you can do on such a small circuit.

I would try reflowing/adding some more solder to your pots, they look a little empty on the backside of the board.

It is currently being used in stock form with no apparent detriment to low end content.

Chorus all day ery day. I especially like the MBP Touchstone w/ vibe mod. The General Tso is a great, easy to use comp, but I agree with the idea that you should learn how to manage your dynamics on your own first. If you go envelope filter the Mutron (or a derivative, looking at you Lovetone...
