No, you guys aren't getting my fucking point... My point was that the D+ was not to vintage spec and I identified it and what the root-cause was and diode values incorrect. Once corrected...BOOM, sounds the way it should. Fast-forward to the current situation and this thread (if you can keep...

Thanks and understood. The unit I use and test with is a Peak Atlas DCA75 which does have a curve tracer function. Then I tested a myrid of RR-104 pedals and then compared them to my original vintage 1978 and 1980 D+ pedals, they were all tested with my DCA75, so when I was seeing some RR-104s...

I just found this page which is VERY informative IF correct. It is only the diode portion and not transistor information but provides the values across all variations. I just question if they are in-deed confirmed and 100%?!? It suggests the following Vf's: 1N34A (0.21Vf) - Distortion+, Klon...

What are the specs Hfe and Vf of the diodes and transistors of the original early 80s pedal, so the tone is correct. I've seen some transistors suggested as direct replacements and had a 200-400 Hfe range, while other suggested at 600-800 and the originals SUGGESTED at the higher range...

Has anyone actually pulled and tested vintage components so we know 100% what the hell the actual readings are, say Hfe or Vf?!?? I found out this the hard way with the whole MXR RR-104 fiasco. They released a limited run of D+ pedals supposed to be 100% to Randy Rhoads original pedal spec and...

I like these MODs to keep it vintage, but give it a little more gain +46dB => +60dB

Thanks guys. I ended up used the Distortr and measure it out. It was something like .125" outboard and built it up over the weekend! installed perfectly and besides that, nice Bass Distortion pedal! I actually built it for reknown bass playin the Detroit are and friend of mine of 40 years...

I looked to see if there was another ZVEX pedal that was close. Sure enough, the "Distortr" has the pots in the exact same position it looks like! The pot needs to be moved over. In the Distortr, there are two, but the one that is similar to the Basstortr looks to be in the same Y position...

Appreciated, but the switch is not in the right spot!

Can you PLEASE post the drill template so I can finish this tomorrow/this weekend??

Looking to twist up an SD-1 clone, but trying to figure out when the PCBs will be back in stock from Buggs. I purchased a couple different transistors (2SC732 and 2SC1815). I got all of the parts in and tested the transistor. I know some folks said the 1815 was a replacement for the 732 I...

Any idea when more Uber Drive (SD-1) boards will be in?? I would like to build over the Christmas holiday as soo many artists over time (Vai, Wylde, etc) used the SD-1, but I never owned/used on and anxious to try it!

Care to share the graphic file??!?

Well, I was able to drill out the 3 pot holes and LED. I was able to put the PCB into the holes from the top side, then figure out where the center of the switch was, then mirrored the distance from top and side! This worked! Set the mark and drilled it to 1/4" and everything lined up...

Thanks. Yes, I wasn't thinking of the audience as all I work with for the past 28 years and not mom-and-pop companies, but $40-50B top 10 companies are engineers and management all day and exact answers are demanded and all I was asking for to fill in the blank of +3dbm = x.xxxmV! Very...
