Absolutely agree with everyone else, this is a fantastic build! But this in particular... ...is pure genius. If anyone else has done that, I haven't noticed. It's a small thing, but sure makes the overall build look more professional. I've got a Cobalt PCB in my "to build" pile, I'll be...

@bluedmc777 - I haven't built this circuit, but I have built Chuck and HamishR's "successor", the Timbre Man. Loosely speaking, the Timbre Man is a Timmy with a mids knob. Looks like my build was back in 2023. I've long since sold that pedal (and gave away all the old PCBs). But I literally...

Despite using a Coolaudio chip, I did get this one to bias correctly, though the sweet spot was pretty small. I did rock this pedal as my always-on slapback delay for quite a while. But I did sell it not too long ago. I still have this one, which I never got to bias correctly. I've revisited...

That would pretty much be a Timmy. The Tellurian/Earth Drive is an "opinionated" Timmy. By opinionated, I mean that it's literally the same circuit topology as the Timmy, with some values tweaked, and the Timmy's bass knob has been replaced with a fixed high pass (i.e. bass cutoff)...

Yeah, that first stage is just a buffer, so presumably the designer was targeting a 137k input impedance? Which is kinda low. The designer also seems to have a preference for using the inverting opamp input. It's definitely full of stuff I haven't encountered - I don't have enough knowledge...

Everything about this is awesome! It just looks like rawk!

I created a non-buffered, mechanical relay version of the quasi-IC module, and tested it out on the Pez Rojo. Full details here. It works great!

Further riffing on this concept, I created an alternate true bypass version: it's still microcontroller based (using the same firmware), but has no buffers and uses a mechanical relay for switching. This brings me full-circle on bypass designs, as this very similar to my original MCU-based...

I forgot to update this thread with the newer evolution of this module, though it has been featured in several recent build reports. The first build report I posted with the newer module version is the Nashville Nobility. The newer module is the same circuit as what I discussed previously...

As I mentioned previously, my recent Aion Quartz build was mostly just to have a reference circuit handy for any necessary debugging of my own custom PCB spin of the Diamond Compressor. This build, my Carbon Squish is my first take on that circuit. Turns out I didn't need the debugging...

Do you have low-cost PCB fabrication services in Brazil? If not, won't you run into the same problem with having the custom PCB imported?

The PCB that was used in this build report is the PedalPCB Nobleman. It's out of stock right now, but you can sign up to be notified when it's back in stock. Personally, I feel that PedalPCB's prices are more than fair; and they are a steal when you factor in the regular sales.

Here's my "xTORTION-10", a lightly-tweaked clone of the Ibanez MT-10 Mostortion. Background Back in 2020, one of my earliest - quite possibly my first - non-kit build was the AionFX Quantum, which is Aion's MT-10 Clone. At that time, he didn't offer a kit for this circuit. That build forced...

There's something about this amp that's so wet, it's like, how much more wet could this be? And the answer is none. None more wet.

Emphasis added. Referencing the PedalPCB schematic, is it sufficient to simply halve R17 and the Release Pot for 9V operation? Based on this table at @Cabintech, it looks like the VTL5C3 is perhaps the best off-the-shelf opto-coupler to use in the Delegate Boneyard Edition? At least compared...
