The Biggus Dickus is a product of a local wizard cranking up the Krank Distortus Maximus which was then cranked up and maxed out into what is the Biggus Dickus Energy. A one knob version with all the controls set to the heart of the sun. All credit to @Nostradoomus for the board and answering my questions. It sounds absolutely massive and works well all over my pedalboard. And it all fits in a 1590b.

Sounds like that would be massive. And magical. Very interesting. Nice build.

Great build! Is that a Tayda enclosure? What color is it? I really like it - and black seems to be surprisingly legible on it.

You got it. Tayda Matte Army Green, and yes I was surprised how well the black showed up. Just a film-free waterslide.

It’s really Chuck’s circuit but yes I will take a bit of credit

Love to see it!

Agreed. But I credit you for the board.

I love to play it. Easily my neighbors least favorite pedal

Beauty! I like that PTP flair, there

Anybody feel like sharing a schematic...?

Oh yeah! Thank you. I think I hear one last PTP challenge calling--working on Moonn's Sojuz 31 currently.

You or @Nostradoomus mess with Chuck's values at all--he mentions increasing C3 and C8 values for extending bass and such at higher gain?

 

[Nostradoomus]

I used 100uf for both @comradehoser

Also if you’re Canadian which I’m guessing you are, I have boards. When the postal service is settled

I see a '4' in my gutshot on c3 but can't tell for c8. I don't think I upped either value, but I will take a peak inside when I get a chance. I didn't find it lacking in oomph but I think i pulled the gain trimmer back just a bit to get a little more range in cleanup when I roll back the volume knob.

I AM Canadian (Grew up in Surrey and Langley, lived in E. Van, went to SFU)
BUT I live in the States... (BC to DC)

Given what's incoming, maybe I'll be back in BC soon, though!

Anyway, I was gonna try for a PTP in the original format for funsies.

Sweet! I lived in east van for a good while myself. And new west. And Burnaby…and On the island now.

Hey, the island is a good place to be. My pop's on Cortes.

Lived in East Van, Westend, WestVan, SouthVan, Kits, and 2 months of hell in Edmonds Burnaby. Nothing wrong with Burnaby, except Edmonds, which is probably all gentrified now...

 

[Nostradoomus]

Edmonds is still about the same which is weird. Probably because they haven't developed the creepy at night skytrain station park yet lol

at least a couple of folks on the forums are in northern VA, so just across the Potomac.
