Is the boost side improved? Gotta say the boost side is a total bummer on the previous rev.

curious what's new in this rev vs the old rev? I see there is a second opamp vs the prior. Thanks!

Yes. It makes it like it wasn’t even installed.

So someone smarter than me would have known this without even trying it, but flipping Q2 around makes it act like it’s not even there. I ended up putting Q2 back in…decided it does actually help control the bass in a usable way.

I couldn’t actually locate any 4580’s, so I went with 4558. I’ll try flipping Q2.

Thanks for posting this. I built one and I wasn’t really a fan…actually thought I messed the build up somehow but your video shows me that that’s just the nature of the pedal - relative low volume, last bit of the throw on the treble has a huge impact, bass gets super flubby up high. I ended up...

I went ahead and complied the BOM off of the PCB for Virgil Overdrive/Bad Monkey clone. Use at your own risk, but it should be accurate: Pots 3 x B100k 1 x A100k ICs & Transistors 2 x 4580 (i couldn't find these so picked up 4558) 2 x 2n3904 1 x J201 (could only find at smallbear) Diodes 2 x...

any word when virgil overdrive/bad monkey build docs/bom will be available?

Does anyone have a good video of their LFO on a pedal they are happy with to give others a reference/starting point of what we should be shooting for? Would be supremely helpful.

Gotcha. Like I said I've tried everything with the LFO. Anything else I could possibly be missing? Possibly my expectations are out of line.

Gotcha. So do you think to improve the chorus side I should perform the mod or keep trying to tune the lfo?

So question for the phase mod on R16/17: what final values are you guys seeing? Are they like a few hundred ohms off of each other or like a few thousand? Second question: my electrovibe mini has a really strong effect/depth on the vibrato setting, but seems a bit too subtle on the chorus...

Ah, so these 11 mm headers will work for the build? Do you know the maximum distance that the PCBs can be spaced from each other?

I got this stuff and it measures 11mm...does that mean 11mm of clearance works for this build?

Many thanks. Wow, $1 per cap. Panasonic is proud of those.
