Here’s another idea that just came to mind. For the buff and blend boards because they have to be attached to the switches, you could get two of them and put them on each switch. Basically, that would allow you to have two blend knobs one for each circuit. That would add a ton of flexibility to...

I drilled myself. I just took the two paper templates and taped them together to line them up just right.

Hey there! Here's some answers to your questions: 1. If I recall, I think it's a 1590XX enclosure, which is pretty much like having two 125B's side-by-side. 2. The switch is kind of worth it. The difference in tones is interesting but I did feel like one setting is better over the other...

Looks like a fantastic build! Good job! :) I've got an original Foxrox Octron 3 and it's one of my favorite octave pedals for sure. I got this PCB as well and plan on building one relatively soon. If it matches my Octron 3 I'll likely just sell it and keep my clone. Kind of how it goes really. :P

You bet! Gimme a few days and I'll crack open mine and take a screenshot. Been needing to do that for a while now. :P

I have indeed built a Son of Ben. It's more of a preamp really compared to the Viceroy. I tend to use the Son of Ben as more of an amp running it into a cab emulator. My understanding is that the Benson Preamp is based off a Chimera 30W amp. So I figure it can be ran as an amp if you use a cab...

That's what I figured you were doing. Good way of doing it I think. Definitely makes it easier to replace switches. :D

Looks like a great build! Good job! One question. Looks like the foot switch isn't soldered to the breakout board...or am I missing something? :P

Gorilla tape and Gorilla glue can fix anything. 🤪😂

A what machine? Do tell

That’s my thoughts too. I’ve got a few Rat pedal circuits with LM308’s. Bragging rights I guess. 🤪

I was about to say…you’re better off just getting some OP07’s. That’s what ProCo is using too. There’s little to no difference between a LM308 and an OP07…at least nothing that’s seriously audible. I think an OP07 produces less noise anyways. I think the NOS status surrounding an LM308 is...

Nah, brah! Toan is in da ballz.

I recently bought a Drunk Beaver Secret Sauce pedal and, after trying it, it made me revisit this circuit. I built two different Percolator clones, the AionFX Particle and Calliope, and found that they're both quite different than the Secret Sauce pedal. By comparison, the Secret Sauce is a more...

The 'Albini' spec is indeed a smoother and more controlled version of this circuit. By itself through a clean amp, I can't say that the Percolator is a great fuzz. To me, this one works best when pushing an amp that is either right at breakup or already broken. What it does best is give off a...
