I have one of these I had printed from VFE's gerber files on my shelf of shame, need to get it working. Thanks for the inspiration, nice build!

I wouldn't say the doping or 1979 switches are super dramatic changes on my build, but it is noticable. My ura switch adds to much bass that it chokes out the fuzz unless I switch 1979 on. All the switches seem to have different effects relative to other control changes.

Yeah I'm also getting nothing, I guess some brave soul will have to purchase one and send it to Robert for a trace/board and the greater good of all.

Pretty sure the recent Benson delay is PT2399 and sounds awesome plus fairly long delay times, might be worth poking around in one of those

Yes that would work. Usually when I'm doing shielded wires I leave it longer than needed and tease out half of the braided shield on each end with a small screwdriver or pick awl. Then you can twist up the loose strands from the shield to make a pseudo wire for soldering to ground. In this case...

I might be wrong but it looks like the shield for the in/out wires isn't grounded. You might try grounding the shield on at least one end of each run. Usually the signal source side of you're only grounding one end to avoid ground loops. The sleeve lug on the input jack and the ground pad on the...

Nevermind I'm wrong. I read it incorrectly at least 4 times in a row. It's the LM3080N. Thanks for catching it. Time for new glasses.

The BOM says LM308N. It's the GCI 6 knob compressor designed by the guy from Dunwich amps. I like the Dunwich fuzz pedals and thought it was strange to have the rat opamp in a compressor which is why I was intrigued.

Thanks!

Smooth build, nice layout, easy to fit everything. C8 and C13 said NP next to them which I interpreted as "NonPolarized" so I used tantalums because that's what I had in the appropriate value. I socketed the transistors and tried SE4001's and SE4010's from my local "can't believe it's still in...

I was looking for some for a possible compressor project and Tube Depot has them in stock for $9.95, kinda steep but if you only need one and want it to be the real deal it's ok I guess

The loose threads are a key feature, great for snagging on clipped leads and sticking to flux residue.

I'm the only one using an old bath towel? Mostly just leftover from when I was doing lots of vintage hifi restoration, needed something to prevent scratching the finish on xformers/front/side panels while working on an amp. But now I solder PCB's on it because it's on the bench with the...

good to know, I never noticed it before

The Muffinator build went great, violet ram's head specs with Fairchild SE4010's and a tone bypass outlined by @Feral Feline here. Straightforward build, the guide for the tone bypass was great, all I did was lower the value of the bypass resistor to give a volume boost with the tone bypass...
