I used to use a Strymon Flint on the plate setting and it was pretty good. I usually use it set quite low and I like it. right now I have one of these and really like it: It was on sale and for the price it's fantastic. The trick is to leave modulation on zero at all times! I have a UA...

I was just going through some pics of NYC from last time I was there. I quite like these ones:

That looks like an Australasian coot! I've been watching (not really in a birdwatching way) a lot of them at my local lake recently, it being spring down here right now. We have a range of ages in the little cootlings, from just hatched to almost fully fledged.

If you want a fairly dramatic but still musical midrange push try changing R3 to 1K, C3 to 220nF and then maybe change C4 to 1µF or 2µ2. Then swapping R12 to 2K will give you a little less mids.

I wonder if this circuit is designed to sound like an Engl amp or work well with an Engl amp? That could possibly help to explain the EQ choices. I was quite disappointed with the various Friedman pedals I have tried. They sound kinda unfocused to me, like there's too much going on. Which I...

So it uses three dual opamps and the first and last gain stages are on the same opamp. Doesn't this break international safety protocol and possibly lead to the end of the world as we know it? Or have I got that wrong? (Tip: It's highly likely)

That little square looks so innocent doesn't it? It's a portal. That's all I can say.

I thought that was because it's left-handed. Everything is backwards.

I really like your enclosure design - very cool, even if I didn't get the Ghostbusters references (having never seen the movie). Just as well you didn't do a Back To The Future theme. Flux capacitors are hugely expensive because of tariffs.

I had an Okko Diablo way back and quite liked it. I remember it being very good if a little polite. I tried building one when Robert first came out with a PCB but couldn't get it to work - probably the only pedal I have had not work from here. I'd love to build a working one. Mr @szukalski if...

The boost looks like a TS with preset gain and tone.

The treble control Chuck says was good enough was actually designed by Chuck for a previous circuit I was working on! It works far better than the original BJF control. But then when Bjørn designed it the treble control was part of a "nature" control... This isn't a pedal for everyone. It...

Yeah, cos if we're not that could really hurt.

I have a bunch of red LEDs which are backwards. Confused the hell outa me for ages. Every time I used them I had problems. I guess if you make a gazzilion of anything there will mistakes sometimes.

That's amazing! Wow. The only thing I would have done differently is to use chassis mounted tube sockets and flown them to the PCB but really that's just quibbling.
