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...

Thanks - I have several other extremely silly, fun videos just like that on my channel (Castlevania, Super Hang-On, a surf-rock song from a tennis video game, Street Fighter II...). Check 'em out! Agreed on both of these. I could probably make any of these work in a real mix with a little EQ...

Thanks! If headless is good enough for Ichika, it's good enough for me (also it's my only 3 single-coil guitar). Hmmm, perhaps you would be interested in my other, extremely silly music videos, all of which feature more traditional guitar designs: Interesting, the Yellow Overdrive is one of...

I did a little video showing off a bunch of builds: BYOC, PedalPCB, (1) MadBean, and the StewMac 2Kings kit (also my favorite BOSS (OD-3) cuz why not) . This is about half of what I currently have built, but I had to draw the line somewhere. There's no talkin', just the same 1 minute of a song...

Not really. The "Staz-On" stuff seems to work fine and be reasonably durable. I sprayed one light coat of acrylic clear over some earlier builds, but stopped cause I no longer play live shows and take good care of my belongings. Also, I'll probably give these away to guitar-playing friends or...

By the way, I know the 2N5457 is getting harder to come by, but Stomp Box Parts still have several hundred https://stompboxparts.com/semiconductors/2n5457-jfet/
