Anyone know if this uses the common 4-pot PPCB template?

Tayda order for a bunch of components plus two custom drilled and UV painted enclosures: ordered Aug 24th, delivered today. Not bad imo, was expecting to wait at least another 2 weeks, but hey, labor day weekend projects are a nice surprise.

a pink HM-2 is brilliant. love going against the grain. time to get a peavy solid state amp and practice your Entombed riffs

Very nice. Just built one myself last night, though I'll do a report when my printed Tayda enclosure arrives at some point. re: big honkin 1uf film cap, I used a li'l MLCC there and it seems just fine.

This won't give me cyclospora will it?

I think I got them from Mammoth Electronics when they were still around 8 or so years ago. These were my last two. :cry:

Nice, thanks guys.

I don't really want to add a knob or switch, I just wanna perma-cut some of that tubby low-end. Is there a component swap one could do that would, just like... move the shelf frequency or something? Edit: follow-up a few weeks later - i replaced that 1k5 resistor with a 22k and have been quite...

Thanks for confirming. Guess I'll figure something out. Really thought I was all set after getting those weird W taper pots lol :ROFLMAO:

Is the build doc correct, or are they supposed to be the more common 2.2M resistors? Doesn't seem like the usual suppliers stock anything even close to 22M.

I've been using the 5457 and don't have any complaints. Stomp Box Parts has 'em.

Had some fun this week. Defouler sounds awesome, very similar to the DS side of my Boss OS-2 (visible in the pic lol), but the mid-scoop is a little different. Great, great distortion. Didn't have a 2SC732 so I used my last 2SC1815. The Alpaca is what it is. Most of us know what it's gonna...

Thanks I'd vote the Informant. It's very similar to a rat but smoother in the mids, and clearer sounding at lower gain settings. It's more "polite" I would call it, in a way I really like. In my other thread I posted a big comparison video and you can hear it and the Aion FX Helios back to back

Is that a StompBoxParts Peacock Ore enclosure? I have one on the way. Looks gorgeous.

Yeah, this is always infuriating. I always buy more of them little boards than I need because you never know when I might biff this. My drilling was always off early on and it was driving me crazy. Then I finally remembered to choose print "full size" or 100% scale, and turn off any "fit to...
