What are the sound differences between different clipping diodes. I am moving on to a Distortion 250 build and I am out of 1n270 diodes but have a good supply of 1n4148 diodes. Anyone ever made this substitution before?

No I haven't. Where are they based out of? I am in the US and don't really want to wait a month or more for parts.

I have gone through over half a dozen of those tc1044 chips in 2 different triangulum boosts and both pedals still whistle. About to give up on them and stay away from pedal builds that use a charge pump.

I knew I should've used chip cradles! ??

I built a Triangulum boost that has a high pitch whistle even with the pedal off. Can't figure it out for the life of me. Might just have to try some new IC's I guess.

I cant get the pictures to upload. ?

Here are the voltage readings from the IC chips and transistors.

I will take some voltage readings and report back sometime tomorrow. Thanks for the suggestions.

I am building two....i guess we'll see if the second one turns out the same way.

Gotta be a faulty component somewhere, i guess.

Just finished my first Triangulum boost. Very noisey pedal and VERY ice picky. It also likes to cut out and go microphonic at high setting of the level knob. I have reflowed all solder joints and double checked all connections to no end. Either I got a bad component or this thing is just not...

Is that based on the US?

What would the difference in sweep be if I used a 5k linear instead of audio taper on a Triangulum boost? The right angle pcb terminal is all but impossible to find in audio taper. StewMac sells the linear taper all day long.

That is awesome! I already have enclosures and parts to build 2 of these ready to go!!
