2N7000's, pinouts are correct. This is driving me crazy lol

Yes

Using a TL072 because it’s supposed to be a replacement for the AD712…

I’ve built this from the Dirtbox layouts layout. I’m not getting any clipping, and cannot for the life of me see what is wrong. I can remove the drive pot and the thing sounds the same I’ve confirmed there are no stray solder bits connecting rows (there looks to be one in the last pic...

Thanks Fama, that might be the easiest option at this point.

I have been using an existing layout that I modified a bit. I use the existing layout but use a 2 x 10 turret so that the components essentially are symmetrical (straight across) and dont need to be angled. I then just connect the turrets that need connecting on the underside with wire. I...

No, I forgot lol. That said, I started building these without the Balance knob, and only a Harmonics. I will breadboard another one in a bit and check and see if the suggested methods work.

It just loses a bit of volume and drive. Its like the last 3% of the pot curve actually decreases a bit instead of continuing its upwards trajectory.

Sorry all, wasnt sure how to word this. I have built a pile of these and each one essentially seems to fall off juuuust a bit when the Balance pot (A50k) is at max. I tried searching, didnt see anything posted, so I figured Id ask, I hope this hasnt been beaten to death and I just wasnt able...

Can anyone share their method to manage wires for turret or pseudo-turret and Other DIY builds that have wires coming out to the off board parts all over the place? I’m trying to have a clean, aesthetically pleasing method without the wires becoming a rats nest under the pcb. I’ve attached an...

What are you referring to? The one I build calls for a TC1044 charge pump. Are the v1 tech docs different?

Ah man, I never even thought to test leakage lol. I don’t think my Peak tests this…

So, I read a couple posts about how some pedals with multiple transistors need to be matched (for octave properties) but what about clipping diodes? I suspect I am overthinking on the subject along with a lack of knowledge on said subject... What about a pedal that has 2 x Ge clipping diodes...
