Distortr

I think he's taking the pith. :cool:

You wanna be careful making pedals with an orange man motif. People might not think of citrus. FWIW I believe that in Malay "orang" means man, as in orang utan: man of the forest. So "Sir Orang" might mean "sir man".

Or maybe I'm reading too much into this. I like your graphics!
 
Thanks daddy. Thats what the D stands for right? jk jk

one of these days ill start shrink wrapping all the connections... not sure what happened there.

This build actually turned out quite a bit noisier than my last. Any idea why that might be?

Just showing some fucking respect for Sir Man
 
Hiss and white noise. just a higher noise floor. the voices are comforting during self-isolation. and cheaper than cable.

MOSFETs can be noisy. If the noise is louder when DRIVE is cranked, then it's Q1. Might pay to hand-pick them in the future. Could also be the DRIVE pot. I got a noisy one from Mammoth a while back. Sometimes resistors or caps can be noisy, but not too likely with film Rs & Cs.

by "hand pick" do you mean just socketing them and doing trial and error? or is there some kind of quantifiable test i can do beforehand
 
You can measure the noise with a scope, but a listening test is as good or better. I would breadboard the first stage, with the source lead grounded (no DRIVE pot) and use headphones to listen to it. I use one of those cheap rechargeable plug-into-the-guitar headphones amps as part of the bench check-out for pedals & breadboards.
 
Cool build! FYI, orang actually means person or human in Malay, so I guess it would be more like "Sir Human"!
 
I’m just about to build this and the resistors all look like they should be 1/8 instead of 1/4w. I see that folks have used 1/4 above in the gut shot and I’m sure I can manage, but are we all using too large of components? Even the silkscreen looks like the 1/8w design for the smaller body size.
 
its not a big deal to use 1/4w, they fit fine. just takes a smidge more attention. im not sure why the board is so small though. seems unnecessary.
 
I can make 1/4W resistors lie flat on these boards, but it takes some effort. Assembly is a lot easier with 1/8W resistors. You can buy 1/8W resistors from Tayda or Mouser, both have a quantity discount. Mouser has some values that Tayda doesn't carry. You can always fudge the values a little bit, use 1.82K instead of 1.8K, that sort of thing.

Ha ha ha, you must be thinking of the Orange Guy who used to host The Apprentice. If I was going to name a pedal after a Game Show host, it would be someone respectable, like Alex Trebek or Groucho Marx.
