Clean!

My process for the pedal, First I layout all of the components and then I drill the enclosure. Video is uploading now

I wanted to build the Muffler but unfortunately I was missing that one component that nobody has (2N5485 Transistor FET). I did find some at Small Bear. This pedal feels like a tube screamer with a wider range of tone. It utilizes N4002s instead of N4148s. Perhaps not very different, I went with...

I too was thinking of Colonel John "Hannibal" Smith is the leader of the A-Team!

Terrific build. Lots of fun to make a pedal in a day and have it come out great! Previously I made the PedalPCB Sproing Reverb which only had one knob. That build came out great and I gave the pedal to a friend who plays. I built this one for a producer in Nashville. Unlike the PedalPCB Sroing...

Thanks for showing me what is possible.

Your work is clean. I have never seen that component that is in the middle.

Thanks! I wondered. Build report If you followed this thread, I failed on the first board so I started over. What PedalPB says about this pedal is "Compare to Marshall JCM800 Overdrive Pedal" and that I why I wanted to build this. Also I love overdrives. Many of the Marshall type pedals just...

Well, I put the new one up on the auditorium and it works. One question I have is how come the A1 M only registers about 350k. Out of the board it registers 1M. I noticed this with the last board as well. I’m wondering if there’s another resistor that is throttling the A1M down to the 300s. All...

Sooooo many resistors!

I repopulated another 8 ball board. I checked every value and made sure all of my soldering was done well. I turned my soldering heat down to about 390C. I was running much hotter. I also used flux on the Mc33178s and capacitor legs. As you suggested Robert, I bent the legs for the 2sk209g -...

I messed with it for a few more hours and replaced more items. It is like guessing and hoping and that is just a recipe for a burned out board. Put it back on the auditorium and got nothing - messed with it some more. Now it is on the scrap heap. I always order at least two boards in case of...

Well, I boxed it and then it went back to fair away sputtering. This has happened with a few pedals so maybe tomorrow I can take a little video so you can hear what this thing sounds like. Maybe someone on here would be able to advise me what I’m doing wrong when about one and three pedals ends...

Nice build and nice report. Looks clean and I see you went in from the top for the LED. I have not seen those type of labels on anything since maybe the eighties. It works!

I sent Robert a private message. Very very helpful builder. I thought I had a bad potentiometer at the A100 volume. It had a very low reading of nine so I asked Robert and he said the concentrate around C 14. He said a potentiometer was rarely bad but it does happen. So on my own I unsoldered...
