Thanks @Tassieviking. Sounds like it’s something in my build. I am going to look into it. I don’t remember the output being that low always. Something probably needs fixing.

Thanks @SamuelG. I’ll check the ground of the input jack and swap tube and see if that fixes it. I’ll report back.

Does the Lab Rat have a lower volume output than the original Rat Circuit? I have to turn the volume almost all the way up to get about unity volume output. Compared to my builds of original Rat circuits it definitely has less volume on the output. I am not sure if that the way Lab Rat circuit...

I’ve placed two orders, both were delivered with no issues.

Hi @SamuelG. I replicated you Bathtub Reverb mod, and it’s amazing! Thanks for sharing and documenting it. I also used the shielded cable where you did, but I wonder how much noise would be introduced if I hadn’t used shielded cable. Did you try it at first without shielded cable and experience...

Finished up building a Nein Fuzz which is based off the ~900 from Fairfield Circuitry. I’ve had about 30 minutes to play it, and my initial take away is that I need more time to explore what it can do. The controls are pretty interactive and this circuit really has the ability to shift into...

Oh jeez. I didn’t look at the build doc yet so I didn’t know there would be testing to make sure the JFETs were working within spec. I don’t have a peak tester. I might just have to hope it sounds as close to optimal as possible with whatever J201s I place in there. Thanks for the heads up.

Nice build! I just got one of these PCBs in the mail a few days ago and your report is making me even more excited about putting it together. You mentioned finding the right Jfets for this build. What measurements are you looking for to tell if these are suited to this circuit, and what impact...

In case we’re making our way to a Skynet situation, I always make sure to enter my prompts nicely. I say a lot of "please" and "thank you"s. Maybe it’ll get me some brownie points when we lose the upper hand. For the IC I am using a Metal Can LM308 I got from the "No China BS" eBay seller people...

I bought a few C2CE boards at once, and decided to build the Lab Rat first since it gets a lot of praise on forums. I went with a bare aluminum enclosure and laser etched my graphics onto the aluminum using metal marking spray made for lasers. The art work was generated using AI. I told it what...

They are Transistors. If you squint you can kind of make out that the component labels start with "Q".

Thank you for the explanation @Tassieviking!

Hi. I am getting ready to do the Bathtube reverb mod documented by @SamuelG and @Tassieviking and have what might be an elementary question. Does anyone know why the resistors in the path of the 250V line don’t need to rated higher in the same way the caps are? Is the current low, but voltage...

Hi All. I just completed my Bathtub Reverb build and I had the same issue of the LED not working. I confirmed the trace from R12 was not connected to the two header pins. With as many confirmed reports of this as there are, it sounds like there is definitely a trace missing in this batch. I ran...

Received a $200 order from Tayda today, no tariffs as of yet!
