Thanks for the tips! I'd actually came to this conclusion too. I'm going to try modifying those components and see how I go tonight. Thanks for the help!

Hi there, I have gone and modded my Woodpecker to add an expressioni input for the rate using a stereo switching jack. Everything works fine but the expression pedal is only effective over a very tiny range. I know that this is caused by the difference in resistance between the expression pedal...

**acting as an 8k pot should

Thanks for the suggestion. I've checked everything and all the components are correct. The pot is behaving perfectly fine except that it is reading 8k rather than 10k but it is actually as an 8k pot should. I.E. it is measuring 4k at 50% etc. I don't think being 8 instead of 10 would matter all...

Hi there, I built a Radium Springs a little while back and some things seem a bit quirky.... The main thing is that the tremolo is hardly noticeable. When the pedal is at 100% wet and 0% dry I can hear that there is tremolo happening but it is so subtle that any amount of dry signal makes it...

Yeah I measured up most of the components to minimise the weirdness of the ringer. This one works pretty well but the octave functions more like an alternative gain stage than a true octave effect in my opinion. I'll try and tee up a demo.

Just finished this one off last night, sounds epic! I hand engraved the enclosure which took a long time but I like the vibe. The build is using matched d9k Germanium diodes and the OP07 op amp.

So update on this pedal for any who were curious.... Turns out everything was ok I just didn't really like the build. Desoldered most of the parts and went for a Green Russian instead, much more what I was after and now it sounds excellent. I also added a clean blend, a feedback mod, second set...

Hmmmm, yeah it does have that sort of vibe to it, though mine doesn't sound quite as good... I'll keep tinkering but I'm glad I don't have to swap out all those caps

Hmmm 2 votes for electrolytics... I might just give it a go and see what happens thanks so much everyone.

Those slots have 3 holes under them so that they can accommodate electrolytics or non polar caps. I think it changes depending on which build you are doing. The Martian Fuzz asks for 100n coupling caps so film box or ceramic seems the most likely.

Gut Shot is there my friend just click the right arrow :)

Hi there, I have just built the muffin fuzz board, I built it as a Martian Fuzz, and to be honest it just sounds a bit crap... So I think there is a problem. The main issue I'm getting is that when I hit a chord quite hard on the guitar the pedal responds by going super thin, super compressed...

Thanks so much!

Thanks for the kind words!
