pF values do come in box film cap form factors, and for sure there is a pF cap there (just check out almost every single OD circuit out there, between pins 1 & 2, etc) I do recall this cap and the material do matter, but I'm not 100%. At least an example would be to use ceramic caps in the...

Woah, thanks for the fast reply! Hope you find some time for yourself!

I noticed the build doc for the King Tone PCBs look a bit different and don't have a schematic for either. Is there some agreement with them or usage right/licensing issue? =X

At least with the pickit2 software, you have to download a "device file" and replace that file in your software's directory for the part you want to work. From memory, I had to download/replace a device file to get my 24LC32A to work and be a selectable option in the software.

It's been a while since this last happened, but I used a 470R where a 470k should have been used. BIG difference, which explains the terrible tone haha Double checked the other usual suspects, but that seems to be it. Replacing, soon!

hahaha! Since I heard it was a Dumble style overdrive that doesn't copy from a Zendrive-like circuit, I've been wanting one. I remember seeing the gutshot a few years ago and it was a SMD nightmare. Amazing how BuGG was able to get a PCB for it, made! DO IT!

Thanks for the confirmation about how it's supposed to sound and the parallel components! I've gone through the schematic and build doc, circling all the low pass, high pass, and coupling cap spots, along with the bass and treble tone networks. I'll start checking there and see if any...

Interesting design, too, btw! Never seen the treble control right at the output before! And those 3 cap/resistors in parallel at the first half of the opamp? But why???

Awesome, thanks for the schematic! :D Usually it's just a wrong value in the tone stack, but didn't want to take up time tracing... Schematic will do the heavy lifting, thanks!

Hey all, I finished the Abider not long ago, and noticed the EQ is..... different. The base EQ is overly bright. My Treble knob is almost fully counter clockwise and my deep/bass fully clockwise. My amp is set flat and is not an overly bright amp. All my other drives sound just fine and even...
