    Fordable Boost + Drive (Boost side not working)

    So the drive side sounds fantastic, but the boost doesnt seem to work! If I max out the volume, it farts out very very softly, bit like if I had to fart in a lift. Tested the op-amps and they're good! Bypass works ok as well. Left out the LDRs - which I don't believe affects the sound.

    What to do with high leakage, high gain NPN Germanium transistors?

    oh man the HFE & leakage requirements of a zonk / FZ-1(A) always scare me! maybe i should give them a shot.

    What to do with high leakage, high gain NPN Germanium transistors?

    So I recently got a batch with HFE between 100 and 200+, and leakages between 500 & 1000. I know a EQD Tone Repear sounds great even with those mad values from my personal testing. Am also looking to experiment with dizzy tone circuits, where I know q3 requires some leakage to bias properly...

    Buffer with the Octarock Octave

    If the two buffers are of good quality, stacking two into each other shouldn't be a problem. Noting that the Octarock is built for true-bypass, meaning the input buffer will only kick in when the effect is turned on.

    Pitch Witch Using b100k dual for blend instead of b50k dual

    Cool, thanks! I really should buff up my actual knowledge on circuitry

    Pitch Witch Using b100k dual for blend instead of b50k dual

    Would this be possible, and how would it affect the pedal? Mainly because I can't find a b50k dual with PCB pins

    Resistor value for Snouse Bb2

    Can anyone decipher what value this resistor is? Looks like a 1m to me, but I'm not 100% sure

    Low Tide: Low volume when on

    Sounds like you might have a short somewhere on the board? And have you also tried tuning the trimpots inside using Fairfield's instructions?

    SOLVED Low Tide distorting heavily

    Fixed! Was a bad J201 in Q4 - the distorting started to come in throughout the sweep of the knob.
