With higher gain circuits, I usually do a couple of revisions on the layout because it’s horrible to build a prototype and then find issues. Just my experience of course.

Nice! I’ve been pretty happy with the father of the Beast, the Bee Sting 🐝. Looking forward to this one!

This looks great. Super props to @dan.schumaker for getting it all without stacking boards!

Schematic is the original one with the switching taken out.

I have this for testing, and it's a PITfeckingA to use.

Looking awesome as ever Chris. I like to see someone who takes pride in his work. Mine are more "practical". You've really kicked me into the vintage accurate mode. This pedal is the one on all the records you know and love. It is great for stacking (a lot of mid range though). It’s first on...

I have a plethora of boards which I’ve done since becoming silent since the house love last December. Work’s been a little crazy so I’ve not had time to get them on the forum or available for others. That said, Sheepylove has a plan. Pedal love for all!

I opened up my Behringer UT300 and it uses a THAT2181 equivalent. The 2181 is single VCA, where-as the original 5207 is dual VCA with one unused. Dunno if it's drop-in replacement, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Some gerbers, for your pleasure. https://github.com/szukalski/pedal-wobbly-tr2/tree/main Love, Sheepy D.

There's a limited use-case for these, since the ICs are unobtanium and no viable alternative exists. Do you have the IC or just stocking up on boards? The board itself does warrant another layout because it's too long (an early layout) and needs offboard wiring. I can always open source it...

https://www.lcsc.com/product-detail/C106448.html That’s a 1u. You can filter by package size for others. The smaller ones are limited by voltage rating but they’re good enough for what we need and a lot easier than messing around with SMD legs. The 1.5mm leg spacing works with a 2.5mm footprint.

You can get 25V electrolytics at 4x6mm up to 100uf and then 5x7 for 100uf pretty easily these days. I recommend stocking on the smaller packages when you buy.

I spent a lot more time than I'd like to admit troubleshooting a SMD footprint where my component tester was showing the source & drain as being swapped..
