Thanks. That all makes sense, except for the ground lift. What does that do? Mine is noisy AF when the key isn't connected to ground.

Hey, looks good. Could you please describe the mods you have made? I know the range switch and shift, but you have added a couple more.

Looking at the data sheets, the 4558 looks very close. I will try this and report back.

Hello. Does anyone know what is a good alternative to the 8080 or 8068? I am waiting for a mouser order to reach minimum shipping. I think a NE5532 would work. Are the others that can replace these two in the noise gate?

If you want to slow the rate down, it is as simple as increasing c3. Solder a 22-47nf capacitor onto the other side of c3 and it will slow down.

I have built one and it has normal volume levels. Got any pics of your build?

Looks great. How did you do the design? Is that a pcb?

For anyone interested the issue was mostly because of how I was testing. The switch seems more obvious in some settings than others and is more obvious on the g string than it is on the low e. To my ears it adds more mids than bass but I was expecting more bass so just playing the low e and...

Hi. By testing rig do you mean my amp? I have a fender blues deluxe reissue that is about 20 years old. Good point about the volume. I might crank the amp when Im home alone

Thanks. I’d appreciate to hear what yours sound like. I’ll have to investigate further

Hey everyone. I built a carcass fuzz which sounds great but the switch is just very subtle. Have I made a mistake or is this a common experience? I breadboarded this thing this afternoon and the switch is also pretty subtle. One mode has more bass and the other a higher pitched and a bit...

Check out r11. It looks like one end isn't soldered properly.

Looks great. I love that enclosure. Will have to try it out myself

Are you saying it gets quiet at r20? If so you have narrowed the issue down to that spot. Try re soldering everything in that area, or just everything, it could be a bad connection. IC2 could be bad. Maybe swap that with another one if you have one, or swap with ic3 to see if that changes it

Looks nice! Is that a Tayda enclosure? What finish is that? I like it.
