Double and triple check you didn't mixed up a resistor value. I still flub them now and again without glasses

That looks somewhat similar and probably better. I pulled this pedal out today. The volume output could be higher. Had to crank my to seem like unity. The eq knobs could be less subtle. The gain has great range. It's got character. But, like so my dirt type pedals, I don't have a place...

Also check the amount of range you have on the pot and the threaded bar on the foot control. Sometimes changing the range of the wah is as simple as changing where the threads meet with the pot and where on the rotation the pot starts or ends.

Honestly it's been a year and I can't remember. The schematic was floating around a few places. Searching for Silvertone twin twelve popped up a few. I remember looking at the Silvertone 1484 amp schematic and seeing similarities. The last jfet really didn't seems to add a whole lot. The...

I just swapped out the tone switch to a potentiometer. The best sounding super fuzz I have. You can get in-between tones and less harsh tones.

Hell if I could reach far enough to kiss my own butt, I wouldn't be wasting time on my butt. As nice as some of these high gain amps are, I'm always amazed at the amount of metal recording that were just a tubescreamer into an 800. Yeah, don't electrocute yourself. Carry on..

Nice job! I like mine, but more with synths and noise makers. On guitar I tend to keep it to just a two note warble.

I always thought you needed the special long thin brush

Ha my first thought was a tremolo.

I wish I knew more about this dark art. Some good knowledgeable independent guys about there. Just so much variation, odd materials and history to learn. I've strangely seen very few makers give or talk about the effect of inductance.

And we have people running institutes using it. What could go wrong? Yeah, it's been a few years of trying to avoid its bad info. How people treat it as gospel is terrifying.

I think that mini switch was someone's solution to turning the battery off when not used. You can accomplish the same thing with using the stereo jacks and running the ground from the battery to the lug on the jack which only connects to ground while a plug is in the jack. As far as bypass...

I didn't get a picture. It works fine now. It's just odd I couldn't reflow the two spots to make contact. I have a chain of resistors up top that looks ugly. Somehow I didn't have an 18k, so I made one.

Took me a bit to troubleshoot the delay only repeating once, until I found R10 and C10 weren't making contact. I tried reflowing to no avail, so I ending up adding a jumper wire to the two points ( see the bottom most wire hanging off the board). After looking on here, I've seen a few people...

The pickups are fine. Clean up the old pots if it's too bright. Clean up the wiring. 4 way switch? Do the parallel/series option in the middle two positions. Clean the jack plug.
