So, I'm looking at the schematic trying to figure out what to swap out if I were to modify the Bastion to give it a little more gain.... Would it be replacing R12 (10K) with a higher value resistor? Thanks?

I really like the voicing of the Complex, so I only changed R14 and R16. Wow, gain machine! Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!

Which resistor and what value would one use to get higher gain from the Complex overdrive?

That seems to have fixed the problem! Thanks! Good thing I went a bit proud with the cable lengths on this one, gave me plent-o of room to tuck them under the pcb! Good lesson learned for future modulation builds with potential to pick up LFO!

Thanks - I'll give that a try.

Problem solved. Well, I can't exactly put my finger on what the issue was in the end, but the problem seems to have gone away after tearing the pedal all the way down, reflowing some joints and swapping out some of the socketed components. The best I can come up with was I had some dud parts...

I did a search of the forum but didn't manage to find anything conclusive. My Caesar Chorus makes a subtle ticking noise in bypass, matching the rate of the time indicator LED. I swapped out socketed components for others, even used a TL072, but the ticking noise is still there. Is this just...

Strange thing going on, the pedal passes sound in bypass and the boost and octave channels work, but it goes silent with the distortion enagaged. I am also noticing that the LED in D4 isn't lighting up at all as signal passes through the pedal, though it lights up when I test it with my DMM...

The Verb sounds great and I've just started playing around with the MultiDelay... really makes the mind wander with how many ways one could go with tweaking effects. Now for a total noob question: Is it the the compiler that combines the C++ code and the various H file modules to create the...

I didn't see any option toggle when I order my Seed - do they ship with the pin headers pre-soldered by default?

I own one of these and so far it has worked fine. For not being truly isolated, I haven't noticed any undue noise so far. I will see if that continues when I move next week....

That turned out awesome!! Very creative use of the clear acrylic case. Did you have to do any special tricks as far as grounding is concerned? I've tried asking them a couple times, but the guys over at Zvex are keeping mum about the strategic use of Coaxial cable for the pedals they built...

Many thanks!!

I prefer to use tantalum for the polarized values below 47 uf, but in the specific case of this build, I used a lot of tantalum because that's what EQD was using in the Life Pedal photos I was able to find.

I had to substitute a couple resistors with values that were close enough to the somewhat uncommon values in the BOM. This is my first build using one of the amazing Gorva Designs enclosures. It came pre-finished and looked great, but the machining on this this is a piece of art. They are a...
