Lead Solder Overdrive.

You all know this pedal. High gain and heavy hitting. I have only got to play a little with it, but I like it. The bass knob was less impactful that I hoped, but still good. I really like Tayda’s metallic black. It may be my favorite color that they make. The graphics are another good example of a UV printed sticker.

Looks great! What knobs are those?

Outstanding

Nice!!!

 

[VanWhy]

Good stuff! I really like using it in the effects loop of my amp as a preamp. Noisy as hell but I guess that comes with the high-gain territory.

C.A.F. Damn

Do you notice the circuit squeals/oscillates when the knobs are dimed? Mine does that and is super frustrating and not making me box it up.

 

[Synchrony Pedalworks]

@BuddytheReow I did not notice any squeals/oscilating with the gain knob dimed. However, I have not played it much. The presence was not dimed, so I will have to see if it squeals with that function is maximized.

Yes, I bought a second one, they both do that. I’m curious, did you use all box caps? I used some mlcc.

I'd have to dig it up, but I'm guessing box caps

The build and pics are so clean they look like renders!

@BuddytheReow So my pedal doesn’t squeal when dimed. However, I usually play through a clean amp, a Fender VibroChamp clone. I can obtain feedback, but it is controllable. Do you think the amp can make a difference?

mine didn’t. with all knobs cranked, no oscillation / no squeal.

 

[BuddytheReow]

It’s a clean amp. REALLY hoping that it just needs to be boxed up. Or coaxial cable as a last resort

 

[HamishR]

Do you ever play it with all knobs dimed?

Do you ever play it with all knobs dimed?

Do you ever NOT play it with all knobs dimed?

 

[HamishR]

Haha! Well I've never tried that pedal and I have never used any pedal with all the knobs dimed. I'm probably too middle class.

I make up for my lack of practice with diming all the knobs
