awesome builds. i put together the emerald a bit before christmas, and it needs some troubleshooting. unfortunately i promptly had to pack it up and move and have yet to take a crack at it.

this is a nice sounding circuit. just test drove it with the TC1044 on my new auditorium test platform and it definitely passed the "box it?" test. thanks for the help, guys!

thank you, gentlemen. i will make a blob of solder and give this guy a whirl. i've had the board populated for MONTHS and i'm just getting around to loading the ICs. will hopefully give this a whirl momentarily. cheers!

hi, would there be any audible difference between the LT1054 vs TC1044 charge pump in the informant? i've got a TC1044 on hand, but i do like to make these close to original specs before i start tweaking anything. am i giving this circuit a fair shake if i go with the TC1044?

i just built two DAM sonic titans based on an old DIY board from EAE. it is a killer distortion. i think a SHO running into the sonic titan in a single 1590BB would be an amazing two button stomp box, and still under 30 components!

its looking more like this informant isn't going to fit into the RAT enclosure after all, so i'd be stoked for a nice repro pcb that would fit nicely. count me in.

nice! i'm actually trying to do a similar thing with an old RAT enclosure of mine. my goal was to fit the "informant" PCB in there, but its going to be a bit of a production. might work, might not. anyway, this looks great, if nothing else i'll just make my own like you did!

you can do it either way. give it a shot!

i've built one of these and it does what i think you are talking about. http://jmkpcbs.com/product/paralyzer/ i built one as a stand-alone box to play with and bought a second board in hopes to build a 2-in1 box with the second one. it is very cool, but i've discovered it doesn't play well with...

i've got the strymon zuma and it has been perfect. pricey but worth it to me.

thanks, i think i can make sense of that on my board. i'll verify that this weekend. much appreciated!

sounds great! what exactly was wrong with the build document? i've got a partially populated board based on the previous document, what should i look out for?

i recently bought a brymen bm 235 and it is monumentally better than the radio shack meter i had been using prior to that. talk about a giant step up! its straightforward i'm enjoying getting to know it better. i got a jolt of reassurance when i recently saw the very same meter on the bench on a...

thanks!

what are you using for the 100n caps, and where from? those are nice and tidy. and the blue elecrolytics?
