I looked too, but don't know enough about the circuit to know which one is a close match. If you figure it out, please post!! I would love to build one fresh!

I finally figured out how to unleash this pedal after buying used and struggling to get some good sound from it. I am not sure if this is a reflection of something wrong in the pedal, still trying to sort that out, but i have found that simply providing a buffered signal at the input restores...

Thanks again all for the inputs, I think my path is gravitating towards a Proletarian (when they are back in stock) to build out the OS-2 part, then once that build is functional, add in a TS circuit like the Zenith Mini, or an Eternal Burst with trimpots that can be activated with a mini switch...

I pulled the datasheet for the SMZJ3797A and looks a little different (more square on the datasheet, vs more rectangular on the part removed), also varying voltages are available available. Does anybody have an idea how i can identify the specific voltage spec for this EHX Silencer Application?

You could change it to "Drive 88" (which is the km/h conversion of 55mph), probably would be able to create only minor update to the graphic to turn the 5's to 8's

Mine used to say that too!

Great insights! exactly the kind of input and recommendations I am in need of!!

Anything is possible, but exposing it to more than 22V very unlikely. I don't think that happened before i put it on the shelf, although it had been sitting for a bit. I am surprised that the solder popped so easily unless it got hot enough to loosen a weak solder joint or was arcing (if thats...

I use it for lead tones usually at about 10:00 Level, 10:00 Tone, 10:00 Drive, and 9:00 Blend (on the OD side of the OD/DS Blend pot), but also can get really saturated on the DS Side of the blend which i use sparingly but effective when needed. The TS in front just makes it a bit thicker and...

Noticed odd behavior (cyclical popping) from an EHX Silencer Pedal, when plugged into DC Power Supply. Disassembled, removed old batter, installed new battery, reconnected guts of pedal and seemed to work off battery power. I did notice that "electronics smoke" smell upon opening the pedal...

I am pretty sure this was the first guitar pedal i ever bought, i remember thinking "wait, Overdrive, and Distortion, how can I go wrong?" I regretfully sold it... and later replaced it because i missed it so much. That is probably why its tone is imprinted on my senses and emotions!... was...

I appreciate the advice. Who doesn't need another TS Clone right?! Sounds like a good one to start with as a first build!

I don't believe in reinventing the wheel, but when it comes to distortion/OD sounds, I consistently gravitate back to a stacked TS-808 clone (Behringer) into my 90's Boss OS-2. Something about stacking those two circuits just hits a sweet spot for my ears in the OD range as well as the...

@music6000 I recently picked this pedal up out of curiosity, and frankly because it looks really cool. I am a big fan of the basic black/white/primary(&secondary) color palate on musical equipment like this. It seems like there is very limited information on this pedal since South Wave Audio...

Having nearly the exact issue with mine, sounds like there is some weak conductivity between the signal path and ground, comes through as white noise even when bypassed (footswitch), which is strange to me if this is a true bypass configuration. Was thinking about replacing the footswitch to...
