https://www.talkbass.com/threads/oc-2-clipping.1027629/ Here is said thread for all interested

Aha! I finally found a useful thread discussing this. They mention increasing R6 instead, this is where my electronics knowledge takes a dive - is there an advantage to changing r5 VS r6? They're both used to set the gain of the input.

I mentioned this to him yesterday, I dunno if he wants to run a comp. Dude is kinda a pain but he's a friend and I love him so here we are lol. I basically sold this to him at build cost so I've been attempting to find solutions that don't take up a ton of my time

The worst part is my bass is low enough output that it doesn't clip lol, so even if I get it to stop clipping the guitars, I won't know until he plugs in. He plays in a pop/rock cover band, dude needs to get a Jazz Bass and call it a day lol. Only time I use the OC2 I've built myself is for CKY...

My 7 string with Fishmans clips this, as does my Les Paul which is just high output passives, but I assume there's no way that's hitting the rails, so I'm thinking the buffer may be the fix. It's easy enough to try, I just don't know if it'll ultimately cause unwanted level drop. I'll try...

Certainly can't hurt to try lol

Nice! I attempted to squeeze this circuit onto a board that would fit a 1590B (by request), it was my first attempt at laying out a PCB...doesn't work lol. I do have signal at the end, but none of the knobs do anything and I have no octaves :ROFLMAO:. I will report back after trying a different...

It is in the non pitched signal too, this is a good point! I'll give this a shot tonight, thanks!

Yeah, just unfortunate that I tested with a lower output guitar lol. The guy who I sold this one to (I sold him two at the same time) said it just started, but I think that's untrue based one what I'm seeing now. He's got a five string active Ibanez bass that I assume is just rocking one of the...

I did try searching first and was unable to find anything already posted about this. I'll try swapping out some 072s, though I just built another set of four and they're all doing it. I did some googling and apparently this is an issue even in the original circuit, it doesn't like super hot...

Also, FWIW, I have now built I think 10 of these circuits and never had this issue. It's very weird lol

I built an ocelot for a buddy several months ago, and all of a sudden about a week ago he complained that it was doing weird things. I met up with him today, and it's definitely distorting when hit hard (he's playing a bass with pretty hot active pups). I tested it on a few guitars and my...

I can do that, but I first wanted to see if they ever actually solved their issue

So did you actually fix this? I'm having a similar issue and have not been able to chase it down. I've built a ton of pedals at this point (200+) so my troubleshooting skills are pretty solid lol, my voltages are reasonable and all the solder joints look fine, I reflowed them just in case. The...

Awesome, thank you!
