For sure acoustic IR's have changed the game completely. I have some acoustic IR's that I can run that "almost" make my Tele sound like a J-45. That's the "aha" moment I had when I realized that all this crazy stuff we do with guitars, amps, pickups, pedals, etc contributes like 5% to the tone...

Wow, the only thing this is missing is dual input. When I had a regular acoustic gig (back in the olden days) I used a Raven Labs PMB-1. At the time it was the best thing in the market for dual source (Piezo + internal mic) acoustic guitar and bass players. I don't gig anymore but I've been...

Look great dude! I know you needed another win........ :ROFLMAO:

I'm not following your math but the post is funny..... :ROFLMAO:

I buy the cheap leaf sockets from Amazon. I guess I don't know how to build pedals..... :p

solder them. As long as your J201's are in spec. These are all run of the mill JFETs, PNP and NPNs.

Oleg is the man. That's a great chart! Saving that to my desktop. :) Last time I checked he didn't have as much to offer in NPN's, that's what I need a re-stock on. Preferably leaky ones haha.

Where did you get that assortment? Looks pretty nice and coverage across gain and leakage.

I think out of all the Skreddy pedals I've built this one seems to be the most forgiving in terms of the transistors. I initially built mine with 2N3904's which were a lot higher gain. It sounded great! But probably not like how Ahlfs builds it. When I switched to low gain NPN's (MPS3646) I...

Well they are different pedals. You definitely "need" to build both :p . They are reminiscent of each other but the Chop Shop can get a lot more gated and sputtery depending on the bias control. You can think of the Mizuki as a subset of what the Chop Shop can do. Having said that, I personally...

That's what she said..... :ROFLMAO:

Hmmm, I might have a metal can 308 somewhere.... Yah for me, it's just small hands. He slides from the F to G with his thumb while doing the double stops in the key of G. I can do one or the other but not both. My beard must not be long enough......

Just put this together yesterday. Ok, so I was rather skeptical about this op amp clipping business. (About as skeptical as I was about CMOS clipping on the Frizzler.... :p ) All I can say is WOW, I've never heard op amp clipping sound like this. I'm not sure which "era" of Billy Gibbons this...

And here I thought the Triad was a straight up tube screamer. I love obscure Japanese pedals. I may have to check it out.

I built the O-Zoan from LectricFX which is the 3 knob Baby Blue. I used the suggested MMBF4393's and it sounds pretty awesome. Hmmm bass knob would be good..........
